vientiane

this is by far the most lame city i ever been.the food is lame,the nightlife is dead and u also feels some sense of inscure in this city.the city is so boring untill for the first time i forget what the hotel name i stay while im there.they have city front much like sisowath quay in phnom penh but the infrastructure is way behind.I try a couple restaurant at the river front,one is call fatima restaurant and one i dont remember the name which charge me 10 usd for a tilapia.the dont cook it themself but just buy it from many stalls on the river bank and dont bother to bring that fish from the restaurant entrance so i can clearly see i just get ripped off.

for 4 days i been there almost every day i went to maybe their only shopping complex(adjacent with street market).the place full of gold and jewelery shop and fake chinese goods.the place is talat sao .i ended up spend quiet a lot of money buy a few piece of jewelery for my mum and girlfriend.other place i visit is their temple pha that luang and the national museum which house so few things

this city will join bandar seri bagawan as the city i will never step foot again

the worst part is i forget to change some laos kip worth around 250usd which is invalid to change in malaysia and i suspect in many other countries as well
