Tout comme Vientiane, c'est une ville peu interessante, ou les touristes passent generalement 1 nuit en attendant d'entrer au Laos. Il a fait vraiment tres ...

It's six o'clock in the morning on the other side of the world, and you're sweating through your bedsheets, hopefully drowning the bedbugs into a lethargic coma similar to your own.
