So, I’ve been in Luang Prabang for a few days, and here’s what I’ve figured out:

  • I should have rented a house in Luang Prabang, not Vientiane
  • Lao tuk-tuk and boat drivers are great fun, and you should get drunk with them
  • When you get drunk with them on Lao whiskey, your head hurts really bad the next day… I mean, like, REALLY bad.  Don’t let that stop you, though
  • When there is sunlight coming from the direction you want, there are thick clouds where you need blue skies.  And vice versa
  • Tourism hasn’t spoiled the locals
  • Luang Prabang is one of the most beautiful small towns on Earth
