Arrrgghhhh

In my last post I said get here before all the tourists do - well scratch that they are already here - in vang vien- we stopped here to break up our journey and its the benidorm / koh samui / full moon party of Laos...and its hideous...I can currently hear 2 episodes of friends at once blaring from the TV bars either side of this internet cafe-what brought the tourists here in the first place - the beautiful Karst hills and caves - have been spoiled forever by the 18 year olds on inflated lorry tyres going down the river off their skulls on 'happy' pizzas and lord knows what else - arrrgh get me out of here - if you do ever get stuck here though gop out of town because the sunset is worth the endurance of westerness in a foriegn land...and the organic cafe and its supporting farm does do amazing sugar beet beer and mulberry pankakes and shakes - in my opinion this places only saving grace...no tv's and right at the end of town - phew...so 1h 35 mins left in this town - I just hope the bus isnt late....you have been warned!
