Day 1 in Laos

'Same same but different' - a favourite saying in SE Asia ... And some interesting meal descriptions on menus...


Same; still Asia, but different to Vietnam. Today in Vientiane was very quiet, slow paced, no more beeping of horns. But tonight the city came alive. I went to a terrace bar to have Beer Lao and watch the sunset over the Mekong river. Suddenly after the sunset a group of locals starting dancing and doing aerobics on the riverfront. Apparently it's 3000kip to join in (about 25p). Unfortunately the beer had taken effect by now but tomorrow I'll be there in my leggings! I spent the rest of the evening at the night market singing in my head, 'I think I better leave right now'...before I buy anything else.
