I used to have the impression of Laos as similar to rural parts of Vietnam and Thailand - bicycles, stray dogs and also Cambodia - these are the places that I have backpacked mah.
Discovering Laos, or more aptly, re-discovering Laos was really my fruits of this backpack trip. There are bikes, tuk-tuks, cars (foreign makes too) and well-groomed dogs roaming along the streets. People are pretty and friendly, greeting using "Sabai Dee" when you meet any one of them. The Laos language has some common terms in phassay thai too, but not totally same as some may perceive. Vientiane and Luang Prabang give me a very different feel. Vientiane is the capital, but really a quiet capital while Luang Prabang provides a wider range of activities including excursions to different places of interest. Peaceful, warm, relaxing - are the 3 keys words for me - and really fit to my backpacking itinerary. Food - "sticky rice" is something to try and it is like glutinous rice back here lor.
重新了解寮国. 重新认识她. 为了捕捉不一样的画面, 用SD/CF cards 说出寮国的故事, 我得research lor.
不在家的时间不长, 但对她的认识不少, 只要细心观察, 同样可以看出别人看不出的美, 记录不一样的人生经验.
