Journal Chira's Journal: Laos in a Nutshell 11

Journal by Chira
Impressive Things
  • Food. ... drip... drip... drip... (the sound of my saliva) Very good food with cheap prices. It was a good opportunity for my LT. Dan to masturbate his sandwich hunger after he was tortured by the expensive prices in Thailand. I, personally, liked the little cafe nearby the fountain. It was opposite from 'Khop Jai Deu' restaurant. The shop was clean and cute, the food soooooooo good and cheap, and the toilet perfect. I can tell you that we will go there again next time. Note: Don't have seafood. The foreign bacteria were stronger than rotten Thai clams.
  • Fruit. Watermelons are huge. I asked Dan to buy two for me, so I could put them inside my T-shirt. Wow, a dream come true. There were two kinds of papaya: red and yellow. The latter was sweeter.
  • Hotels. Well, they were more like guest houses were pretty, clean and big with a huge matress which you can put three LT. Dans in. Really impressive. I suggest 'Laos-Paris Hotel' and 'Thavornsuk Hotel.' Every hotel has cable and hot showers.
  • Women. Some women are really beautiful. Well, Dan didn't agree with this opinion because he'd prefer Chinese-looking women. But I think they are like Thais with lighter skin and bigger eyes which I envy. ;..(
  • Cards. Dan taught me how to play poker and uno on the way to Laos.
  • There were many kinds of restaurants along the Mekhong River, about one kilometre. We tried... hard... to get there and we actually did, but somehow we couldn't find the river at night. Well, the light bulb went on when we saw the small amount of water left in the river next morning.

Unimpressive Things

  • Snacks. All kinds of snacks are very expensive. A small bar of chocolate which cost 8 Baht in Thailand would cost 16 Baht in Laos. It was good for children that they could have cheap prices for 'real' food and expensive prices for snacks, but it was terrible for me because I am a snack-aholic.
  • Dusty. Everywhere. All day.
  • Child beggars. Don't give money to them because they will be your best friend for the whole trip. Give them something else should be OK.
  • There was exhaust everywhere from motorbikes and cars. I'm afraid that Vientiane will be Bangkok someday. Sad.

New Things

  • Pepsi in Laos is really gooood. It has less sugar. I would move to Laos because I missed its taste.
  • Beer Laos is smooth. LT. Dan can guarantee this. He said that it wasn't skunky like Chang and Singha.
  • Be a good bargainer. Cut down half of the price for everything. Don't worry if you can't get it the first time. When you walk away, they will immediately accept.
  • Laotians will never be able to be guides. They don't know street's names or directions. Bring your own map.
  • All night clubs close at 10.30 pm.
  • Joke. I made up a new joke and Dan liked it. He said that it was funny. We went to The Morning Market on the second day of the trip. A man who sold binoculars, tried to sell one for us. Obviously, we didn't need it. I didn't see any reason to buy it. It took some time, though, for him to make sure that we wouldn't buy his stuff. After he walked away, I told Dan that I already had the binoculars. He looked at me with a little curios-look on his face. I made the binoculars with my hand. Then I rotated my hand and told him that my binoculars could also zoom things while I was leaning close to him. He laughed and told me that the joke was sooooo me. 8)
