I'm in Vang Viane at the moment. This place is almost paradise, broken only slightly by its discovery by the gap-year travellers. I don't want to generalise and condemn everyone who has the gumption to get up and go somewhere when they're still young, but really, unless you're going to be an alcoholic when you grow up then you're not going to find yourself by drinking your own body weight of BeerLao and then jumping off a platform into a river while listening to pounding house music.
Luckily most of the people who could make this a bad place confine themselves to one end of town and so the rest of us can go out and do/see incredible things without being bothered by them.
For instance...
Today we took some motorbikes and headed off to a cave halfway up a mountain with a lagoon to swim in. Yesterday we went tubing through an underwater river.
Right now I'm in an internet cafe using a computer that is lousy with viruses, so there's no way I'm sticking my memory card with photos into it, but I have some good ones to share when I get back.
More when I can.
