The Lao adventure continues. I left the capital and headed to a small backpacker called Vang Vieng, where I met a bunch of Canadians and got completely wasted. The highlight of this town is tubing down the river (something I did not end up doing). I am now in a city called Luang Prabang, which is a UNESCO heritage city and is quite beautiful. The highlight here is the large waterfall just outside of town (something I did do), which was amazing. I have met some cool people but have also spent some quality time by myself: reading a book, chillin with some monks (who are like 15 years old, have cellphones and smoke cigarettes), or drinking $1 beers watching the sunset. Tomorrow I leave on a 2 day trekking/kayaking trip, which I will explain in my next post.

Leaving Paradise

Yes, I have left the paradise known as Thailand. Why might you ask have I only now begun my blog? The answer is quiet simple: I had someone other than a computer to interact with (Mike Balint), and something better to do than sit in front of a computer (getting shitfaced on beautiful beaches). I am now in Laos. I have heard good things, but since I just got here several hours ago, I cannot speak from personal experience. So as my Laotian adventure unfolds, there will be more posting, and with my fancy new camera (and cheapest in the store tripod), hopefully some cool pictures too.
