2005-03-11_Luang_Prabang : Tourist town, but pretty nice nevertheless. A World Heritage Site and great place to shop for Lao Silk, swim in waterfalls and eat good food!
Soup.jpg - Breakfast! I came back to Luang Prabang this second time to buy a bunch of the beautiful hand-made silks and see some things I missed the first time. 35 KB  
Kwang_Xi.jpg - A friend (Richard Hudson) had told me that the nearby waterfalls (Kwang Xi) were worth going to. So I took a look this time. He was right! 48 KB  
JC_Kwang_Xi.jpg - The Kwang Xi falls were similar to the Erawan Falls in Kanchanaburi, Thailand. Many stepped falls that one could explore alone and swim in. These were a bit bigger and in some cases more developed (sometimes with wood steps, etc). 45 KB

Kwang_Xi_Do_Not_Enter.jpg - Someone had recommended that when I see the "DO NOT ENTER" sign, that this marked the most beautiful area, so of course I had to take a look! They were right! 50 KB

Monks.jpg - Just some monks doing repair work. The monks in this town are known to be very friendly and chatty. I think they send 'em here from all over Laos. I was supprised to find out that many of the youth are just "doing the monk thing" for a few months to appease their families and win Karma points. 46 KB
