Seriously I wasn't impressed the first round when about a day here, but I thought it was raining, I was tired....it is bound to improve...yeah, no. The only thing I can say for it is that pretty much everyone I knew from Vang Vieng was here plus a few more so there were plenty of people to keep myself entertained with.
The reason I was staying in Vientiane was to collect my passport from the Myanmar Embassy. I was told to be there at 4pm on Tuesday. In hindsight I shouldn't have been such a cheap ass with something as important as my passport in limbo, but I am sooooooo over being ripped off by tuk-tuk drivers. The last time I went to the embassy it was a bit of a walk so I thought getting a bike would be a nice idea.
Now this may be Laos but I still suck at navigation. Really suck. I took off looking for the main road and figured I would catch it down a ways as there were loads of one-ways and annoyances that you don't deal with when you are walking. An hour and a half later...yes....that's right. I finally got to the embassy. Tired as I had been sick this week and biking around the city in the heat for that long wasn't my idea of fun. I got my passport back and am no officially allowed in Burma! Wooohooo!
