Welcome to Luang Prabang. We welcomed ourselves by sleeping till noon! It was fantastic. After a scrumptious lunch we (Glenda the Brazilian, Lorance and Francis from New Zealand) headed out to see all the sights and be super de duper productive, hmmmmm....not so much. We went for a walk, changed some money, used the interweb and then it was dinner time. Wow How time flies by. It was a great relaxing day. I got my credit card unfrozen. Don't get me started on why you have to call in to say you are on holiday just to have the bastards freeze the card for you using it in said countries you are traveling in??!!! Anywho, I sorted it all out and am now the proud owner of a ticket to Burma! I will be getting of the beaten trail and spending Jan. 29th to Feb. 12th in Myanmar if I can get a visa. Then my friend from Korea is coming to Thailand for a week and hopefully we are going to hit the beaches in the south for my birthday! So thats my little trip plan update!
At night we ventured to the night market. Now the key to shopping in Asia is volume. You always get more for less. So, on this particular outing we bought some t-shirts. Or better yet, we stocked up on t-shirts. Why is it so interesting to me to have tshirts in strange languages. One of my major dissapointments in Korea was the obsession to use English on all t-shirts and such. I also picked up a few knick knacks for folks at home.
Cool shot of the sunset...too bad it didn't really look like this....the sky's on fire!
I guess this is more like it....
I couldn't think of an actual purpose for one of these or I would have bought twelve...they were so pretty!
