After we were released from the vipassana center we were thrown back in the noisy world called Thailand. The meditation was qui(e)t(e) an experience, but now we had to get our mortal bodies to Luang Prabang. Everything went remarkably smoothly and even Sal was not stressed when we arrived only 30 minutes before the flight at the Vientiane airport (I was the stressed one though)…. amazing.

First impressions: Laos is quiet something else, probably the most backward area I have ever travelled in, but it is amazingly relaxed. The people are friendly and it feels like Thailand used to be….
