Have been in Laos for 5 days so far.. and I think I'm finally getting into the pace of things.
By pace, I mean, a super slow and relaxed pace.
Everything starts in the morning but Fadz and I are rarely awake.
So by the time we do wake up, the town is usually on its way to lunch, shutting down for an hour(or five) for a quick siesta.
The sun is surprisingly hot for winter, with even the dogs too lazy and hot to bark at people.
My mum told me to watch my food intake, cos according to her, Laos is a FOURTH world country.
Oh well, broke all the rules on the first day. Iced shakes, back alley eating, not to mention all the roadside foodstalls...
Hah. Am in Vang Vieng right now. Kayaked around some amazing limestone karsts on amazingly clear and blue Nam Song River.
Or like Fadz says it, I pretend to paddle for a couple of metres, then stop to admire the scenary as he labours behind me. HAH!
Speaking of Fadz, if I have to hear one more 'wat' or 'Buddha' joke, I may come back a solo traveller.
Yes, he's that sacrilegious.
Off to Luang Prabang tomorrow!
