Down the road from the hostel was a little shop owned by a friendly couple with a two-month old baby boy who I decided was an absolute dude (mainly on account of his permanently startled expression).

She wandered of, leaving me and Mark to rent ...

Most of the tourists visiting this place are French or other nationalities elderly people, interested in the history and temples and it being a World Heritage site. <br>And the Lao people here smile again! It's so easy to tell what type of tourist has come before you. Over here: rich old polite ones who are ...

The city is really wonderful with a lot of old french buildings on the street. After the night market during the first evening, I went the day after with a bike to the Tat ...

... and no permanent buildings can be built along the Mekong river. This makes long strolls beside the river, past makeshift restaurants (wooden tables and menu boards) a lovely experience. <br>We decided to check out the abandoned temples across the river (lonely planet recommendation) and tried to haggle with the boat men. One man wanted to wait and bring us back, making the cost considerably higher. With the lack of tourists around and the urge for convenience (after ...

And other boats raced side by side to each other. Each had different strategies with having on guy in front "pushing" himself forwards and backwards hoping to &#8220;push&#8221; the boat faster.

I finally got the ball and threw it to another guy that came to help. I made it out with minor scratches.<br> The locals left after that and then it was just the hostel folk left to play. We slapped the ball around for a while when another group of backpackers showed up. We ...

Klein dorpje van een doorsnede van 3 km maar heel erg toeristisch doordat het de steun van de UNESCO heeft staan hier de mooiste gebouwen die dus door de organisatie goed onderhouden worden.
