Luang Prabang was the most sophisticated Asian city I’ve
visited thus far. The town itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Something
about the French influence in an Asian atmosphere made the city simply
charming. Aside from the midnight town curfew, Luang Prabang was a pleasure to
visit. I ate crepes, baguettes, and maybe a little curry while visiting. The
night market was the best I’ve seen in SE Asia-so colorful and full of
bargaining potential. A café and bar on the Khan River called Utopia kept me hydrated
day and night with coconut juice and Singapore Slings. I will be back to visit
Luang Prabang.

ReplyDeleteI really think you would LOVE LPB. It was a wonderfully sophisticated little city with a laid back way of life. You're not too far...think about it.
