This magical and charming city is one of the most unique places in the word. Time seems to stand still, cars and trucks are banned in the central area, monks float down the street, and silence reigns by 11pm.
The power can go off at any moment and none of the locals really seem to mind. They are wonderful people who seem to be very happy and content with chilling and it is impossible to walk down the street without seeing someone taking a road-side "power nap" as dad calls it.
They say that this country is like Thailand 20 years ago, but with one new guest house popping up evey 18 days in L.P , let's hope the unique atmosphere can endure.
Claire and Conor, Deirdre and I can see why you loved this place so much and why it was one of the highlights of your Asia adventure.
Sorry, the internet is being sketchy, so no explainations of the pictures.
take care,

Sam! We saw your Laos double at lunch today. He was working at a restaurant in town. His looks and mannerisms reminded us of you and he was cheeky like you too, HA!

ReplyDeleteHave a great VDay kids. And when you get a sec Colin, check your old hotmail inbox for a message I sent you. (I don't think I know what your personal email address is these days)
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, it pertains to your iPod, which I know you have with you on your trip. And yeah. Read that inbox when you're not too busy sticking your tongue down your fiancée's throat!

There is magic here. Nice work you two.
