Luang Prabang

Detox lasted about 48 hours. Its impossible not to drink while on vacation with your best friends.

Luang Prabang is defnitely my favourite city so far. It has beautiful french architecture. The people all over Laos are so kind genuine. Its a nice change to not have "Lady you want to buy something?" or "Madame, you like t-shirt? You like bracelet?" No, I don't like any of the crap you are selling so please leave me alone. In Laos, A tuk tuk driver MIGHT ask if we want a ride, but that's only if he's awake and looking out of his hammock.

Another example, when we were arriving here 2 days ago, I realized I had left my camera on the minibus. I hopped onto the back of a scooter and rode to the bus station. The bus had already left, but another driver was there and called a bunch of other drivers to see if they had found the camera. None of them had. I was almost about to cry when a bus pulled into the station and low and behold my camera was on the front seat. Do I have horseshoes up my ass or what? If that had happened in Cambodia or Vietnam, I never would have seen my camera again.

Today we went to an amazing waterfall and swam underneath it. Tomorrow we are taking a boat along the river into Thailand. It takes 2 days. I am really going to miss this country.
