travellers

Although we aren't the most hardcore travellers as far as getting off the beaten track goes, I think we're doing alright. We've ridden some crazy buses and gone to teh corners of the country, and being in Vang Vieng really brought this home for me.

There you see girls and boys in all the clothes you're told to avoid in the rest of the country. The foreigner section of town is focused around caves, kayaking, TVs and beer. Nothing wrong with all that of course, but that's what's there. A lot of the people that are there seem to have made Laos a lsight adventure from Thailand. I don't kinow if this is true, but I don't know how things could be otherwise. You wear a tanktop in Sam Neua and you'll know people are looking and throw on something more in a hurry....well if you were a girl of course.

Anyway to sum up... not the most hardcore travellers, but doing alright.
