Without Direction

Well I had to get out of Thailand in a hurry, as my visa was about to run out, so I settled on heading to Laos.
So, I’m in the sleepy capital of Laos, Vientiane, on the Mekong river. Vientiane is not like any capital I’ve even been to. It’s more like a sleepy village. Laos is poor country, and you can see it everywhere, beggars, bad roads etc.

Main street, Vientiane, Laos.

However it’s a charming town. The people are very friendly, and the Lao language is very similar to Thai which is handy because I can actually talk a little bit Thai now-a-days!! Thai is my kind of language, no grammer! I’ve been visiting various Wat’s and the Lao Museum, which in the usually Asian style is more like a school project, by a kid in the communist party

I’ll be heading north to Vang Vieng in couple of days. It’s hot today so I’m off to drink a Beer Lao, @ Euro 0.80 ! Enjoy!
