Good morning. What an adventure I’m having. It was one of my dreams to visit Laos. I saw it on the Discovery channel years ago and ever since then, I wanted to come here. I took some amazing photos but don’t have my card reader. Traveling light is making me realize what I need in life, and what I don’t. The people in Luang Prabang were so kind, honest, and so beautiful. I took a 25 min flight to the other side of Laos last night and here I am in Vientiene. A totally different city. It’s the capital of Laos and kind of reminds me of Dempasar. Not quite the place for me so I’m moving on.
Since the flooding in Thailand, everybody has been coming to Vietnam and Laos so most flights and hotels are full. Luckily I can sleep anywhere.
There’s a bus known as “THE BUS TO HELL” that goes from Laos to Vietnam. It’s 24 hours of dirty, crampy, and bumpy ride through the mountains. No toilet too. That might be my only option back to Hanoi. Not really looking forward to that.
Anyway, going to jump on my motorcycle and speed away from this busy city.
As soon as I go back to Japan, I can download photos and share with you the beauty of Vietnam and Laos.
Have a wonderful day!

Huge Amazing Waterfall!
I did the 328 steps of Phousi Hill.
Khawp jai means Thank you!
Beautiful country.
Beautiful culture.
Beautiful people.
Bye bye Luang Prabang.
I will be back!!!
Next destination is Vientiane!

i looked online for the best meaning of a best friend and this definition came up.
Meaning of Best Friends: a person closest to your heart, a person where you can rely on, a person that makes you smile, a person that makes you laugh, a person that makes you think, a person that pushes you to the limit of your ability, a person that hugs you when you are in deep sorrow, a person that knows you well from your family, background, trait, how many are you in the family, how many pets you have, how many times a day do you eat, what are you up to, what are you doing, a person that can help you in everything that you can ask for.
for me, a best friend means even more, much more. to have one in your life is precious, but to have more is priceless. i’m very fortunate to have many best friends in this world. and now, i want to thank each and every one for being in my life. if it wasn’t for all of you, i would be a lost and lonely person. thank you and please don’t give up on me. haha. see you around!
