Settha Palace Hotel Vientiane

... worth it. This is what makes the RG description even more culpable; it actually states that Mixok is "more atmospheric" than Mixay. Yeah, if by atmosphere you mean dirty, smelly, dingy lighting, prison cells for rooms and owners who do nothing but laze around indifferently in the front room watching TV. Never have I been more misled, and I suspect if it happened to me, it must have happened to others. A strongly worded email shall be ...

... dans un noir presque total.<br><br>Nous nous sommes finalement diriges a Luang Prabang&#65292;dans le nord du Laos. Un superbe village paisible&#65292;tres colore vu ses dizaines de temples. C'est impressionnant de voir des centaines moines partir au petit matin recueillir les aumones. La route a ete tres longue pour se rendre &#65288;380km en 7h30&#65289;&#65292;mais les paysages ont ete des plus epoustouflants. Au retour&#65292 ...

... later after the waiter had dumped it on our table. She insisted we pay as we had eaten it, but the food was very poor quality and we weren't having any of it. I pointed at all the things we ordered and said yes to pay for it, but no to the appertiser. She got very angry and simply stopped shouting at us in Lao. After much huffing and puffing rather than accepting their fault and taking the eight pound for our meal she tore up the whole bill and basically told us to get ...

... lying next to strangers, in your sarong, all getting massages. If there hadn't been so many people, I think it would have been really peaceful, listening to the forest noises around. But, we (I went with Femke and Mathjis, 2 Dutch people I had met at my guesthouse) still had fun. The woman who runs the massage and sauna was very energetic lady. She invited us to come out that night to see some of her friends perform in a drag show. So, we had an interesting evening, at a gay bar ...

... justice, but it really was stunning.<br><br>I think Laos has something for everyone, whether it be the mature traveller going to see the beautiful landscape and wildlife, the art gallery's and temples, or the "Gap Year Planeteers" wanting to get off the Thailand strip and still be able to party and live cheap. The food was great, and surpsingly different to that of the Thai's or Vietnamese. There are countless monks wandering the towns and cities in bright ...

... We arrived at the bus terminal and again made our way by truck taxi to our chosen hotel, Mali Namphu Guesthouse. The guide book had given it a good review but the room was pretty basic and the bed was not at all comfortable... The evening we took a walk to find somewhere to eat ...and we were pretty disappointed with the choice. But we ate and headed back to the hotel.

... We kept waking up in the middle of the night hot as hell and Hanan woke up nauseous from the smell coming out of the bathroom. Of course, we got up early and ran from that hostel. Uh the place is gross. We settled into Hostel Mixay. The place is much better and clean. Though I do think that most of S.E. Asia has some sort of sewage issue where their pipes back a stench into the bathroom. Anyways, enough about fecal matter. What ...
