been taking lots of photos.. yesterday after a tour of the wats in the main part of town, i left them to go to a wat further away with a traditional lao sauna and massage,where i met a nice local guy who is a comp student and works as a graphic designer/ photographer/ layout/ videographer for a lao-american magazine. He takes fantastic pictures and i met him for dinner later that night so he could pass me something to pass to his friend in spore... had a great time and found out more about how people here actually live and what's the situation and their history and all...=))) anyway the wat was pretty nice, in a forest setting, i talked to a few of the monks, one of whom led me to the massage place.. and i left my loney planet with the rest and the map from the old old photocopied footprint i had was useless so i ended up asking a lot of people along the way for directions in my broken lao =) and so got many smiles and nice encounters =)
hoping to get an overnight bus to luang prabang tonight... so i won't get to see the wonderful scenery and experience the rollercoaster daredevil driving skills of the driver as he negociates the mountains...
5 more days with the girls, 9 more with the guys (who are really 1st time backpackers and just scream tourist and have been staying in hotels and will prob be overcharged for everything).
there's so much more to say.. but i've still got to go check and maybe book tonight's bus then meet them at the market and i still haven't had breakfast.. so.. ciao.. internet in vientiane is actually pretty cheap, wish i had more time to talk though =)
