After much debate and a three month trial period, Brienne finally let me contribute to her blog. So here it goes… Guest Blogger: Felix Gabathuler.
Laos. Vang Vienne. Where to begin…? As we left Chiang Mai, we left behind an incredible experience of deliciously bazaar foods, blind folded muy tai fights, ringside betting, fording rivers on elephants, and a great hostel. But we hadn’t seen nothin yet. We boarded our third night bus in five days and left the elegant city of Chiang Mai behind. A quick word on Thai buses: if you have a heart condition, please use the train. I woke up a couple times during the night to the sound of squealing tires and our bus swaying from side to side. These drivers obviously know what they’re doing, but you have to question their sanity at times. The main thing is, they get you to where you need to be very quickly. You can't argue with success.
