Oh Wow, Oh Laos

The “s” is silent and thats why the title of this post is clever..got it….good.

We have been having a blast in Laos. It is by far my favorite country so far ( better than Thailand). Everyone here says the same thing. It is a pain in the ass to get around and the tourist infrastructure is nothing like Thailand, and I think thats a good thing.

This country is so beautiful I’ve been going pretty crazy with the pictures. We have so much stuff to upload, the challange is the internet here is SO SLOW. Not suprising really. So you’ll have to trust that we’re having fun and I promise to put them up soon.

Trip South

We joined a min bus that some London friends we met on the hell bus had booked, it was a much more tame way to travel. I have got some great pics and we had a blast cruising with good people, good music and amazing scenery. We arrived in Vang Vienne got a hotel and got ready to see the sights.

Friends is the Sights?

People sit and watch friends in the TV bars here for hours. It’s baffling. These bars offer happy menus (pot, mushrooms or opium mixed in a drink or on a pizza) that could be one reason for the lounging……..

Tubing

We have videos on Tubing that will do much more justice than my brief words here will. Here are the basics, load 10 tubes and 10 people into a tuk tuk and drive up the river 4km. Put tube in river joining hundreds of others, float for 30 seconds, get pulled into a bar, drink, rope swing and repeat for another 6 or so bars. It was a crazy party.The float is supposed to take 1 huor, with all the partying it took over 5 hours. yes!

Anyways, I dont have much more time here so thats it for now. We’re in a huge lightning storm and the power just whent out!

I love Laos! ( sorry for the lack of pics but I cant seem to upload to the site right now)
