Behold Sir Sweats-A-lot in all his glory. That is me and Thom, my Canadian friend in Luang Prabang after we rode 20 km by bike to some waterfalls. Foolishly we started at noon without enough water. This is the result.
You know you like the headband. You are not alone. The locals loved to stare at it. I assume it was the head bang and had nothing to do with the 6'5" 200lbs jackass riding a bike a third his size.
I was in Laos for 13 days. I went to Luang Prabang, Vang Vieng, Vientiane, Champasak and Don Det.
This picture was taken from the slow boat from Thailand as we were stopping in Laos to pick up more passengers. People were carrying on ducks, fish, and all kinds of stufff you wantẻd to sit next to. I thought it was a good first impression of Laos.
Me eating dinner in Luang Prabang. This was before my Tiger Beer shirt was absorbed by the Mekhong.
A view of a bridge in Vang Vieng. It was a beatiful place. Notice the UXO, Unexploded Ordnance, next to the entrance. 99% chance they are American.
When I was in Laos I was traveling with a really good group of people. We had a lot of good times. It made it hard to decide if I really liked Laos for Laos or the people I was there with. An English couple, Stephen and Kim, great people and Thom again.
Dad?
Its nice to see the Sickle and Hammer hasnt gone completely out of style. I have been to East Berlin and Russia but Laos was my first presently Socialist country. Seeing the Soviet Flag in public was pretty common.
Below is how Thom, Ragna, a Belgian girl we met in Luang Prabang, and I got to the Thousands Islands in Southern Laos. It was two canoes with boards running horizontally across them. And it was full of school children.
And then there was Cambodia. . . .
