Xayana Guesthouse Luang Prabang

... he ends up getting them back and being given the monarchy of some other city. No explanation was given for any of these events, and the moral of this story appears to be that if you're thoroughly and brutally irresponsible, you will eventually succeed. Brilliant.<br><br>After this waste of time we headed back to the hostel and basically lazed about for the rest of the day. In the evening, we went to the night market ...

... the warm weather, motions of the minibus and the beautiful scenery now becoming repetitive. I kept falling asleep, my head falling back and I hurt my neck a few times because I had no head rest. <br><br> Lovely Luang Prabang<br>But all good things come to an end so finally we arrived in Luang Prabang. Somehow Laos has decided that it's convenient for bus terminals to be at least 3 km outside the town centre, which is kind of a pain! This ...

... un bar local en dehors de la ville, rempli de laotiens. J'etais le seul blanc assis la ce qui etait assez marrant. J'ai passe une excellente soiree avec eux, ou ils ont pu m'expliquer leur quotidien (pas facile, certains etudiants pleurnichards de chez nous ont de quoi apprendre !), leur pays et une partie du boudhisme. Memorable !<br>Je pars maintenant pour quelques jours dans la jungle.<br>A tout bientot<br>Cyril<br><br>Hallo Leute,<br>Ich bin in Luang Prabang sehr ...

... check out some of the photos.<br>Later that morning (well 8am) we hired two mountain bikes and took off towards the Kouang Si waterfalls 35km's outside of town. We weren't sure if we'd make it all the way or not but the words of the bike guy we true (only one big hill) and we had a great day going out there. So many people went past us on trucks hired in town but you see and hear so much more when you're cycling. We'd been planning ...

Elephant Festival<br><br>On the Valentine weekend, February 14 &amp; 15, 2009, 2 friends and I went to the Elephant Festival in the neighbouring province of Sayaboury. The provincial authorities organized the festival in conjunction with the Lao National Tourism Administration (LNTA) and the French organization ElefantAsia. This was the third year for the festival, and they chose this location because it is the home ...

... about. I have to say that I did not see many tourist roaming the streets or many it was that there were so many locals that came out it made the tourist almost obsolete. I made myself comphy next to a Lao family. They brought chairs in from another area for themselves and I sat on a Beerlao crate. Whenever I would get up to go to the bathroom or get food, they would watch my seat to make sure no one would sit there. Sets were definitely the ...

... The vegetation around it was really dense and at night time looked a bit scary. <br> After 10 minutes and no luck I took it upon myself to get the ball. I climbed down some bamboo to the creek bed and walked around the side of a building. I could see the ball, but it was going to take some fancy footwork to get there. I had to grab on to this building with my right hand and use the bamboo trees on the left side for leverage. There were some downed bamboo and sticks ...

... turfed out of the pubs, to heading for the many waiting Sawngthaew (tuk tuk/taxi type vehicle) and say 'bowling please' with the pride of knowing we were all in on the secret! We waved ourselves off from the local police that hung around, suggesting how tired we were and was looking forward to our beds! Tee hee! I found it rather novel all round. Although i'm sure that they knew all about it really! <br><br>After great evenings and meeting some ...

... een ramp. Eerst moest je in de rij gaan staan om je visum aan te vragen na 1 uur was je dan aan eindelijk aan de beurd. Vervolgens moest je dan in de rij gaan staan om je paspoort op te mogen halen waarin ze dan het visum (lees stempel) hadden geplaast. <br>Toen kon je weer in de rij gaan staan om de &#8216;douane&#8217; door te mogen waarnaar je bagage gescand zou moeten worden maar dit scanapparaat was gelukkig kapot waardoor we hier ...
