... life ends up in our green chicken curry. Yes, I'll donate so I can come back as a spoiled Yorkie in my next life, as Dust of Life correctly points out. (Forget about waking up at dawn to give alms to the monks though, dawn is for sleeping, Dusty!)<br><br>On Tuesday, we started out late so we didn't rent a bicycle as planned; we wandered around this small town by foot instead, stopping at every temple. It's awesomely pretty here. Every night, the main street gets ...

... shops, or picking up their motorbikes from the repair shop. <br><br>We were pretty exhausted after the bike ride and headed back to the hotel for some downtime before we headed out again to return the bikes and have dinner. After we dropped off the bikes we were deciding whether or not to repeat our street food dinner from the prior night or to try something new when we ran into two Australian guys that we met on the bus from Vang Vieng. They reintroduced themselves as well as introduced ...

... Laos and Burma has not offered similar programs so the drug activity remains a viable business. The new drug the government is trying to eliminate the trafficking is Yaa Baa, translation Crazy Medicine. Most of the business is completed up in the mountainous regions of Laos and Burma, far away from the tourist area. I saw no evidence of any such activity.<br><br>It was an interesting day cruising on the ...

... mango juice, then went out to follow a sign I had seen the day before. It said, walk here to visit weaving villages, 500 meters. I followed the sign which led to a narrow path through tall grass and ended on the river bank, where an old man with some missing teeth stood waiting. He offered to take me to the weaving villages and to his home for 10.000 kip (about 80 eurocents). Some other old tourists had also followed me down, but decided ...

Yes there is a bowling ally in Luang Prabang - this is the haunt if you want to go drinking late. (As Luang Prabang is a relatively sleepy town and the midnight curfew)<br>Only visited there after dinner - so it was empty - saw a video of myself ...... boy do i have style ( but not sure what style you would call it) Was back in by 10 so no danger of breaking the curfew :)

... hassled like you do in Vietnam as well. If you say no, people listen. The streets are filled with a mixture of tourists and locals but you really don&#8217;t even realize the tourists are there. <br><br>We decided to book a tour for the following day and then we took our bikes on a tour around the city. We saw a lot of Wat&#8217;s which are where the monks go to learn and pray. Oh yeah, there are monks all over the place here, just walking down the ...

... Office where they informed us, in no uncertain terms, that this was completely impossible. Surely not, we reasoned, we had heard of lots of people doing it. We approached a bargeman on the river and asked him for a ride. But he was greedy and wanted four hundred dollars to take us, with no questions asked. We walked along the river banks looking for a likely craft and we found one that had a bar on it which looked more than suitable for our purposes. Michelle brazenly boarded the ...
