VANG VIENG!

With the wolfpack now assembled we headed from Luang Prabang to Vang Vieng by 5 hour, oh wait that means 8 hour bus. took some amazing photos and videoson the ride there. got there and grabbed our bungalows on the river. Vang Vieng has the most amazing scenery with lush green mountains all around and beautiful weather all the time. The first day we got there we just missed tubing by an hour so we decided to check out the town and grab some food. Met up with some other friends from around SE asia and went back and got ready. Went out there and had a blast.

Next day we actually went tubing. so to dispel any actual thought of tubing it is basically about 200 meters of three bars sitting on the river with rope swings everywhere, high dives, and ziplines. All looking out on the beautiful mountains. Everyone drinks buckets of whiskey, 7up, and M150(an energy drink akin to straight speed...) and everyone writes funny phrases on each other with blue pens and wears red headbands with more phrases on them. It is just a really fun place and we had a blast. We actually rented a tube the first day and the only bother all day was keeping up with the tube, haha.

I ate green curry like a hundred times and loved every bite. Met tons of friends and met a lot of people that were traveling through who ended up just staying for weeks, months, some for years. It is just addictive and everybody is having a blast. Without sounding bad, i would like to note that the Lao people, although it is an undeveloped country, are probably the laziest people ive ever encountered. They just cant really be bothered with work or anything of the sort. Noodle soup, sleep, and beerlao is all they do, really.

This was the first pure party stop on the trip and we made it count. So in consequence the pics on this post will be of us at our most presentable. Had a blast and would recommend Vang Vieng to anyone with a pulse. This break in Vientiane has been great because we all just needed to finally sleep and sit after going out till 5am every night for 5 nights straight. I am putting a video on here of a ropeswing, but it is taking forever so i hope it actually loads the pics i put too. Next stop is siem reap to see Angkor Wat, and then to the islands to get scuba certified at Ko Tao and then to Phuket and Krabi.
