Laos was pretty
sucky. I’m just being honest. We were so used to Lanna food, full of seasonings
that Laos food tasted like water. Tasteless. Dinner was $5, when most of us
were used to Thailand which was $1 (hawker food) to maybe $5 (nice dinner in a
sit down foreign food place). The tuk tuk drivers were loud and obnoxious where
Thai tuk tuk drivers just honked or slowed down and looked at you. All you have
to do in Thailand is shake your head no. In Laos? No. No. No. No. no. FOR GOD’S
SAKE I SAID NO!!!! The Laos people got drunk and were LOUD. Where Thai people
you ask to speak up and they keep their volume the same, quiet. Did I mention
Laos is a communist country? It was quite unsettling to see the soldiers walk
with AK’s towards you. We’re Americans, we hear the horror stories… Anyways we
did go to a waterfall together. That was really fun. Lauren and I climbed to
the top of the mountain together to stand at the waterfall’s beginning pools.
It was beautiful. Then we climbed down on some steps we thought were stone, but
were actually wood stairs with minerals deposited on them from the water. Then
we found our friends and went into the bright sky blue pools to enjoy the cold
water. I jumped off the waterfall at the pool and just had a blast. Plus it was
the first time I had been in a bathing suit since I got my last tattoo.
