... huge difference that I noticed on this trek was that Lao pollutes much less than China. If we had eaten the same meal in China we would have used plastic plates, plastic wrapped chopsticks and all the food would have been in plastic containers. In Lao the only things we used were banana leaves and bamboo. The two guys who were carrying the food spread banana leaves on the table and made bowls out of banana leaves by cupping the leaves and ...

Usted sabia que se puede estar en Francia y Laos a la misma vez? Pues si se puede, se llama Luang Prabang. Este ciudad esta lleno de arquitectura francesa, crepes y queso que huele malo. Nosotros estubimos en Luang Prabang para 9 dias porque fue tan divertido. Fuimos a dos cataratas que fueron muy bonitos y tambien nos montamos ...

... village came out to look and every passer by stopped to ask what was happening - a great but slightly wierd experience!<br><br>Next day and we began our 2 day jungle trek. First we visited 3 villages - the reaction we got on the villages was a bit mixed - the first wasn't used to recieving many visitors and we soon had all the village out to say hello and were followed by around 30 children! The next village we were greeted with demands of ...

... past us so was much more rewarding than getting on their backs. The villagers were making a new long boat too using only hand tools which was pretty cool to watch. Back to the town and we climbed the hill to the Buddha temple and watched the sunset before heading down to the banks of the Mekong for yet another class meal. So cheap to eat over here that a diet is called for when I get home!! The next day was Darren and Sarah's last with us ...

Des femmes qui portent des paniers de bois sur leur dos ou en bandouliere sur leur tete, des velos.<br><br>La premiere journee, je decide de louer un velo moi aussi pour faire le tour des environs. Je voudrais tellement prendre un flacon du parfum que degage les rizieres pour vous l&lt;envoyer. Genial. <br><br>31 aout:<br>Sortie du lit, paquetage de sac a dos et allez hop en trek. Je pars pour une randonee de ...

... shop in Luang Prabang I talked about, Big Brother Mouse. I really wanted to meet some local kids and to give them these books. I hadn&#8217;t seen many people out during my walk. I think it was because I went mid day when most people are either taking a siesta or out of their houses. While walking through one town I found a Wat that looked a little run down. I went past the outer brick wall and took photos of some of the pictures and objects ...

... We started off by walking through the village, with various villagers shouting things at the guide. When we asked him what they were saying, he replied: "they said be careful because it's very muddy". Ever wish you hadn't asked?! <br><br>Sure enough, a minute later we encountered our first very steep and very muddy obstacle. The photo below doesn't really do it justice, it was ...

... the worst. We were told to walk up the road to the main street, and were fully prepared to see the oldest, rustiest, worst-conditioned bus of our lives... so we were very pleasantly surprised to be collected in an air-conditioned 8 seater mini-bus. Legend! <br><br> <br><br>It was duly filled with tourists (3 Japanese, 2 Spanish, 1 Chinese and us), and off we went ...
