Vientianne delights

As we continue exploring the city, we discovered that it is a tourist friendly
place. Most people can actually speak English so it is easy to go around.

We had lunch

 but it wasn't as tasty as it looked. It was actually my first time to eat whale sashimi. The fish wasn't fresh at all. Well what do i expect, this is a city miles from the sea. Why did we ever went to this place anyway?
It looked fancy that's why.
A touch of an old era...

Sitting down in someone else front yard.

The vertical runway....I was puzzled on how does a vertical runway looks like and
the explanation was apparently the materials that were supposed to be used for a runway
were used here instead so that's why the name goes.

Anyway it's not literary vertical as i imagined.

On top of Patuxai

On our way to another museum or temple. The driver can actually speak English but as
always they rob you off your money because you're a tourist by asking way more than the
usual fare...well at least now i know, it's the same in all the places I've been to.

  The golden temple....

 

At last on our way to Luang Prabang

The view was really breathtaking, it reminds me so much of home.

One of the buses that takes tourists from Vientianne to Luang Prabang on a 10 hour ride.

 Finally in Luang Prabang. Dinner again with Lao beer.

And the night market.

 Off to sleep for another day in Luang Prabang.
