... choose a combination of fruits) for 5,000 kip, the equivalent of sixty cents. My favorite was a banana, mango and dragon fruit (a bright pink fruit with a white center with small black seeds), with plenty of ice and NO sweetened condensed milk. I had at least five of these during my stay in Luang Prabang. <br><br>For dinner, we found a small alley full of stalls selling street food. Unlike Koh San Road, the street food is intended for locals and doesn't do much to cater to picky tourists ...

... half his size, returned to normal, then his head started foaming, then his body began to twist over and over in a rather repulsive spasticated manner, before eventually he crawled away erratically and lethargically. In short, he was wankered. We were having a good time, but when I happened to turn to the back of the drinks menu and discovered a page all about Luang Prabang locals, our mood took on a more sombre note. Apparently the average Lao earns $1,000 a year or less. It ...

... very early at 5 to see the monks going round the streets at 5.30 a.m. They collect food and alms from the religious Lao people. I had read that in the main street this can be a contrived experience with sellers of food harrassing you, but got trapped in such a scene anyway. I thought it might be rude to take pictures of the monks without giving any food, but as it turned out you're supposed to only give them something if it really means ...

... I'm not messing - ants, plants and all sorts! As well he kept chatting away for the whole 18 k on the first day but sure none of us had a clue what he was saying and he spoke way too fast for our english speaking guide to translate! Our home stay was an eye opener. Bucket showers, basic living (mattresses with a blanket and a mosquito net is all there is to the bedroom), more spectacular food and a 'baci' ceremony where the elders ...

... passengers we were bumped onto the 7pm flight. The wife had Laos airlines call her at the guest house so we chilled out in town until an hour before our flight. She assured us we did not need to go earlier and when we got the the tiny airport, no one seemed in a rush. I was interested to see what the plane was like as I had heard horror stories about Laos airlines (lonely planet recommends not using them on some routes). But we were very impressed. Our small 80 ...

I spent a few panicky minutes searching for the kittens but couldn't find them anywh**e. I then noticed a box floating across the floor with 3 little heads pe**ing out from behind one of the flaps. I grabbed them just before the box started sinking and left them high and dry (or so I ...

... It was more than conmfortable, down a peaceful road where children played badminton and wild flowers climbed the nearby walls. Nicer still was our close proximity to the best night market i've been to in South-East Asia. A vast place that draws you in to its endless stalls selling beautiful fabrics, ornaments and treats of Laos. Uniquely to this part of the world, here the market-sellers don't hassle you to buy their products; content ...
