Vientiane

I spent a good 5 days or so in the Laos capital and I was quite impressed. I found the town to be very attractive with several buildings that date back to french colonialism. The town is deffinatly busier and more active than all the other towns I've been to in Laos, but it's kept a village feel to it.

But the best thing about Vientiane was the amazing restaurants. I had sushi here, and really good french cuisine (among other things of course!). Oh I also managed to buy a bottle of Perrier for 32,000kip here (about 3.2$USD).

I was joined by Chris as planned, and he thought me how to ride a motorcyle for the first time, so for one day we drove out to the country side until we were stopped by police officers who fined us for not having registration papers or something. Which is bullocks since I don't think anybody around here has them either. So as it works around here, you pay them off and off we went.

I was planning to upload some pictures, but ran out of time before we headed south.
