Stayed a night in a town of Thailand next to the boarder, met some people, had drink. Woke up next morning, it was really close to be late for the boat but crossed the board by a boat, get the visa stumped, run into the tuktuk, jumped on the slow boat, it was full though pushed us in nicely. The boat was fun, met some people that I have met during the travel of Thailand and Malaysia. Yep, quite lot of backpackers takes the similar route in south east Asia. We also surprised and shared some beer for it. Become friend in the boat with most of the passengers. Took us maybe, 6 hours about to some place to stayed over night. In the village, we saw the game of the world cup(don't remember which game), left to Luang Prabang. One of Irish man from a group fell off from the boat, played rubic's cube and played some tunes with my little guitar that I bought in Chang Mai. Fun trip.
LuangPrabang
This is my favorite chilled out town as well. Luang Prabang before the Vang Vieng like silence before the storm. That much there is a difference. It is a world heritage town because of French influence housing and traditional temples all around the town. My main site scene of this place is the waterfall. Its my top five best waterfall I ever seen. It shines with light emerald green, fall down like stairs for some creatures from mythical dream and flow of thewater fall makes and gives us the magical breeze. There is a littleTarzan rope hanged from a tree that we could practice before theTubing. The fishes in the water gives you the foot massage. And so many spot to swim around. Nice.
Night market is also fun to hang out, we bought some scorpion whisky.
Hanging out and drink in the food street. I had a little speaker to play some tune. Those were the days.
First day I cycled around the town. There are so many beautiful temples that you can enter without entrance fee. Also, so many French influenced housing and architectures.
There is a bit of walk but nice view point to see sunset.
I went to a museum of Luang Prabang.
We saw a game of German vs England. Fun game, I was hanging out with German
and English so it was even more fun. I saw the energy of supporters for their home. The game was awesome, each close shoot, we all got excited and scream like a freak and have more beers talking about the shoots and their passes. Even some local neighbors came to complain the noise but we just kept on going. In the end, my German friends were being down and right next to them my English friends were singing songs but also we all cheering each other and there is no problems in between but passion towards to the game. I love world cup.
VangVieng
The paradise destination for idiot backpackers who purely love stupid party and ridiculous actions. This town is fully run with tourism business but pretty much nothing. Most of them just drink day and night and when they tired they go to restaurant to chill and watchTVs like The Simpson, Family guy and Friends. There are hundreds of backpackers coming here to get wasted. Mostly they are young English and Irish. They are idiots. Love the youth energy for whole days of partying and inconsideration of get fucked up in anywhere. It was really hard journey from Luang prabang to Vang Vieng with lots of mountain ride. Beautiful view thought, packed up in small van and that many slopes and curbs for 10 hours were tough for all of us.
Day one.
I have met this English boy Cameron on the boat and we shared the room. Me, Cam and Caroline went out as soon as we got in this town to find out what is the tubing like. In fact, I found out about tubing just before enter Lao. We have met the pink eyed people. Apparently, the water of the Mekong is dirty so that gives some people an eye infection. It looks awful and I heard its painful. There was the game, Japan vs Paraguay. I went to bar called bucket bar to see the game but I was the only Japanese person. I was sitting down right in front of the TV screaming and yelling at it. At first, there was nobody watching the game but when the game got to 0-0 everyone in the bar was cheer for Japan, and during the extension we all cheering then the PK... agh...people gave me some bucket of comfort vodka. Don't remember single thing of after.
Day two.
We are searching for what to do and then decided to do rock climbing for next day and cycling for the day. Cam, Monique and I hired push bikes and got myself a hand written map. There is a couple of caves to visit. On the way to the first cave, there was a dirt road, becoming more like pond or more like swampy road. Minique had a confident that the road will not be that deep and runs and runs in front and suddenly got into the swamp with her bike. We just loughed watching her struggling in the water asking for some help. She just looked funny. We give up on first one. For the other one, according to the map we were heading to the cave smoothly but we didn't know the exact distance. Fuckin far away. Also, the road became to bumpy and rocky road. We had a basic shopping bike so called granny's bike with no gear. After three hours of bike ride, we were all got exhausted. But we made it. There was a massive cave with Buddha in it. Chilled out for half hour then sunset was coming. There is no light on the way, we were in hurry to get back but it was too late. Completely darkness with little moon light on the rocky road, we struggled but made to guest house, I guess we just made our friendshit stronger. There is a kayaking down tour to go to other city takes one day. We wanted to do it but there is not many people to join in and that was just too early the leaving hour was like 7am so its never happened. And we went to a bar and started to drink. We met some girls and decided to change the place. Thats the begging of legendary nightmares for the room VangVieng. We were drinking some beer Lao to begin with, having chats and flirts. Shots and spots came after. Then the taste of wet dream, the opium smoke has arrived. Don't know whose idea but best and worst time of my life. First, we have been smoke and got so high, Cam's got sick so he was out and me and American, English and dutch girls were having together. We don't want to waste any smoke come out from our mouth so we inhale others exhale. Our lips got closer and our conscious got farther, felt like we are feather and they become my lover. Best flirting ever, but when we left the place, I puked, they puked and I puked. My memory skip into the moment that I was standing on my guest house knocking on the door to wake up Cam to open up, he opened the door for me, then I was holding a big jar filled with my puke in my hand, brought into our room and sank into the toilet. I still remember of the sickness but this is also experience. Now there is no wonder of the opium war. I hear from Cam in the morning but apparently I was screaming all the night about the girls that “I was that close, oh no~~, foursome dream”. Blah blah blah like drunken loser. Ha ha, Idon't remember so I can not write about it...
Day three
Awful morning as usual but this time was more than a usual. But we booked the rock climbing thing. Those chicks joined up as well. So we had to move our messed head in a morning and go for hard core excise. Two of us couldn't make it. Just me, Cam, Jane and Caroline made it to the climbing. It was nice hang over killer. Went back to the bar in the night. I brought back the English chick to the cursed room but we just talked about things and nothing happened. She was just too nice just to fuck around.
Day four.
Finally,the day for the Tubing.
We hire some tubes from a shop and head to the river around two o'clock.When we arrived the river, there are already so many people hanging around and being wasted. There is the Tarzan rope hanged on a tree,hight about more than 10m. We had to climb up the dozzy ladder to get to the top, shaky and slippery, I have no idea when will it be collapsed. When you get to the top, you will see how high it is. And there is bunch of drunkers go up there and show their braves. No wonder about couple people has died in here each year. There are several bar along the river, as far as we go, people are more wasted. At the first bar, mostly people are doing swing jump. Second ones got beer pong. Third ones got dance floor with waterfall (just from a hose though, its nice to have one to clean up yourself). Fourth bar, my favorite has creaky dance floor, swing jump, water slide and mad volleyball. We did volleyball in the mad, even though people suggest that we should not do that because of potential of getting eye infection but why not?? We are in Vang Vieng and drunk. Do whatever I can get. Fifth is opposite to the fourth bar. Couldn't cross that way. And maybe couple more. Most of the people end up in fourth. Almost sunset, we decided to go back. But that was too late but I guess it was inevitable that we had to go back with sunset at least once.The soft color of sunset reflected into my fucked up brain. Flow of the Mekong was washing my head off the moment of the bass sound flashing through me. But its got too dark to see anything in the river. We were about 10 people in our group and went down with holding others tubes trying not to separate each other. Nobody knew where is the end. It was fun ride because we were all drunk and flirting on the tubes. But got hungry and cold. About an hour and half of flowing down of the tube, here comes the END. The current is strong, some were washed off, some got injured and we all had to pay for late fee for tube. Agh... Then we head to bucket bar. It was a long night, here comes the Cam's story. When we were drinking and dancing, he came to me and asked that “can you please give me the room for a while?” I replyed “aye? I guess you just need couple minutes do you?” He smiles and I said “Just tell me lucky bouy, don't come back for couple hours”. Then he disappeared into the crowd. I was hanging out with my friends and nothing happened. After about an hour, I met Cam's German chick so I thought that was quick, it was quite late so I went back to guest house as well. When I went back to the room he was sleeping already himself. I was envy but very excited about what was happened.
So I asked “Whats happened lucky bouy?”.
He said “I don't wanna talk about it”.
“What? Whats happened? You got to tell me my roomy”.
“Tomorrow,I promise”.
“No wwwaye, I can't sleep like that, it will be nightmare. Because I worry about you... you got small balls? Ha ha”.
Actually,I just wanted to hear a funny story. Its always fun to hear story like this situations.
So, of course they came back here together once, and they were smooching each other on his bed, naked but here the thing. She found out he was19 and she was 30. Still, they are in the bed, naked. I hocked up with 30 when I was 19. Anyway, so she said that he is too young for her. He just insisted. But she got turned off. She stood up and took all her clothe on, said bye. But in front of the door, she changed her mind.Came back to the bed, smooched around. He said another 10minutes about. She got naked, again. Then, she got upset. She stood up and said, “ No I can't, sorry its so wrong”. She took all her clothe on and almost leaving the room, she turned around. “She said let's do it”. He was like ok yeah~! Then, she went back in to bed he took all her clothe off. Smooched around for another 10 minutes he said. Then, she changed her mind, stood up and took all her clothe on, he just shocked what just happened. Then, this time she finally left him without any action. He was completely frustrated. He complains that she was bitch, just turned him on and left. But I said that you are young man, you just turned a girl off three times. Three fuckin times ha ha ha. This story become our friendship chat for people we met on further journey. She is also my good friend now but I can not mention about this.
Day five
We all got fucked up in the morning so just rested in a restaurant watched The Simpson for hours and hours in the day. Then the after the sunset, backed into those bars for more buckets. There was a game of German vs Argentina. And here she comes with the rainbow. Wow, amazingly beautiful German girl. Even I noticed her during the tubing two days ago. I hoping to meat her and I don't know how did it happened but she talked to me and watched the game togetherJust me and her. I got so excited about it. Then here he comes with just a rain. Storm hit the town and he was just trying to protect her from me. We were dancingin the rainy dance floor. I was frustrated. Then, Cam came up, he isa good wingman. Disturbed him for a while, but I couldn't make it. Aw, she was beautiful. Later I heard nothing happen between them so I am glad but I wanted her. Then, we left them for a while, I didn't see it but Cam was dancing around the speaker and touched it. Because it was heavy rain, the water was coming out from the speakers came on to him Zzzzzzz Zzzzzzz. He got electrocuted. He is a nice guy made lough till the end.
Day six
Had to do the tubing more than once. We headed back to tubing again.
So many swing jump. Water slide. Dancing and jumping. Mad volleyballwas really fun. On the way back there was a girl, completely wasted, lost her tube, trying to cross the river but she got upset and totally lost her mind and scream ing shit. Ah, Vang Vieng. What a place.
Bucket bar and Q bar to finish the night.
This is the curse of Vang Vieng. Its the alternate drunkers paradise but there was not any action for us.
Vientian
Its the capital of Lao.
There is a swimming pool. Lovely day.
Beer garden with big screen. It was during the world cup.
Buddha park, I didn't go though...
I was there for visa run. Took motor bike to the border and took bus to cross to Thailand and come back with the same bus.
Nothing much but a game of Holland vs Uruguay in the beer garden. Awsome game, we dress in orange and gone mad. Next day, German vs Spain.That was also fun.
Watched couple of movies in our hostel
Superchilled in 4000 islands (Don Det)
Its the islands on Mekong river. I don't remember exactly but I liked the description of Don det on lonely planet. Something like this “The life of Lao people is relaxed and loosed so time will pass slowly, although in Don Det, it is much slower like flow of the calm current of Mekong river. You can just spend the day with happy shake and smokes”.
Firstday, I had a bit of stomachache but I walked around the main land. We smoked whole afternoon and just hanging around our bungalow. Next day, we hired push bikes, went to see the waterfall. It was huuuuuge but prohibited to swim in there. Boring... There was a beach? Kind of... but yep we just lay down there for an hour. On the way we went through the exotic way with bamboo tunnel like. Was cool cycling day.I wanted stay there bit longer but it was just too quiet to see the final of the world cup. Yep, next day was the final of world cut game, Holland vs Spain. Didn't even have a big screen, so we left in a morning.
