It’s not looking anything like Christmas (in Laos)
Sunday, December 21st, 2008Savanakhet, Laos.
We plan on leaving Laos for Vietnam in the morning. It feels strange to be leaving Laos so soon. We’ve been here almost a month, but we’ve spent so much time in the other countries we’ve visited (except Mongolia, which wasn’t planned so was just a bonus all around) that a month just doesn’t seem long enough. But I think we’re both ready to move on to Vietnam and a little more chaos and excitement. Laos has been wonderfully relaxing–especially today since we’ve just relaxed all day–including a massage for $4 each! How amazing! It was nice and very different from both our massage in Ecuador and in China. The Laos massage was a lot more stretching and more focused on our legs and feet which was nice after being on them so much. Christmas in ‘Nam should be interesting and hopefully we’ll be able to stumble upon some sort of Christmas celebration. I would love some caroling.
