... majority of the stands sell a variety of cold, mysterious looking precooked dishes which are sold for a set price of 5,000 kip (60 cents) per bowl. Additionally, stands selling freshly made fish, chicken and pork skewers which are reheated on a grill after purchase. We opted for the skewer stand over the cold dish stands. I chose a chicken skewer and Claire chose a massive fresh fish. for fifteen cents each, we purchased a few fresh spring rolls to accompany our dish. After our delicious ...

... the village came to welcome us to the village. We felt really special. After some social time - the men smoked and the women chewed this red bark stuff to clean their teeth by dying the entire mouth red and scraping it off. I tried it - it was vile. We went to the temple the next morning to give alms to the monks, got blessed and generally went about life the way any Laos person does. Amazing.<br><br>After some more trekking and a ...

... propeller plane for our forty minute flight was brand new. It was like a posh version of easy jet or air Asia. They came around with towels and water (no time for anytime else) and the ride was smooth. I had checked on line to see how much the flights might have cost and was surprised to see they were $60 each! Our five nights at the guesthouse only cost $40 in total so unless the wife has a big discount, she paid a lot of money to make up for the delay to our trip! <br>

Fortunately, my bedroom was on the second floor. In the morning, I was greeted with a v**y sorry sight. The floors, the bottom of the furniture, even the low** shelves in the fridge w**e cov**ed with mud ...

... you looking and being the first to initiate the sell. At the edge of this market was the food section where we dined every night on makeshift tables shared with other travellers. Here we could get a stacked plate full of vegetarian side dishes and spring rolls for next to nothing; and had the option to also get bbq'd chicken, fish and the local sausage (a taste uncannily like that of a sweet and sour spare rib back home). Cheaper still were ...

These women would sit all day sewing patchwork onto small bags and wall hangings.
