Discover Laos ( continued)

The second day we had breakfast at a Vietnamese pho inn. Its sign is in Vietnamse and many Viet people came to eat here. After the delicious Vietnamese typical dish, we continue our travel on a special car. It is plain red and so risky to travel on that our whole party just secretly pray for a safe journey. Due to the bad car we couldn’t sleep during our long drive to Vientien. The first day in Vientien, we decided to take massage for refreshing ourselves. While the guys had their body massaged, the girls did their feet. One hour later everyone felt more healthy and ready for an overnight trip. Our car first stopped the Don Chan Palace Hotel but found that not so many cars parked, so we made our way to the Novotel Hotel with an eye chatching bar called Future bar. The atmosphere inside was so exciting with beautiful Thai music on. This is because Thailand has such a deep influence on Laos’s culture from arts, architecture through religion. Gold lacquered temples and pagodas are common sights in Laos and Thai movies are also very popular here. The later it got the more crowded the bar was. At the bar, charming Laotian girls was sitting , from time to time dash their eyes to find a partner. We had a good time there until one hour in the morning. We had to save the energy for the next day’s visit around Vientien and decided to leave rather early. The next day, we visited some main attractions in the city which are covered in every Vientien tour. We took some photos of Vientien streets. They look alike streets in Hanoi( you can see from the picture above). There is little traffic on the street and a feel of tranquility hanging over the city. We left Vientien for Vang Vieng in the afternoon.
