a small farm by the river
Zip lining at the top of the jungle!!!!
feeding them elephants for $0.25
yummy Laos buffalo cooked at the perfect temperature with spicy sweet fish sauce. :D
I loved these in Thailand, Hong Kong, and now Laos! (why VN doesn't have 'em I don't know)
Outside temples you can find different animals (birds, squirrels) to release in the forest to bring good omen to your prayers. Mmm, but this guy was baller and brought an owl!
Kuang-si waterfalls. Best part was stripping down and taking a dip in this in over 90 degree weather. It is actually a lot deeper than you think though!!! I ended up finding a jacuzzi like section that had the pedicure fish in it...WHOOHOO, free skin care!
bear sanctuary!!!
One of my coolest evenings was with the family that ran my hut. They had their cousins and brothers in town (they hadn't seen each other in 6 years!!!) and were throwing them a big dinner. They invited us for delicious Laos food, singing, guitar playing, a bottle of whiskey, and story time. The brother with the guitar actually spoke fluent Vietnamese since he lived there for a number of years and we were able to converse. ah. It feels like a lifetime/dream ago already.
