Scenes from the Streets of Luang Prabang

---

Well, these aren't only scenes from the streets, but also scenes from the Mekong and from some villages along the Mekong. As you can see. there's a lot on offer in Luang Prabang and environs: drying algae, corn, papadums, mulberry paper and loads of hand-made crafts. I was especially lucky to hear some music and entered a courtyard where some teenaged girls were performing this dance that is pretty typical in Southeast Asia. I'm not sure what it's called in Laos, but in Cambodia, the girls are emulating the movements of the Apsara dancers carved into the walls of Angkor Wat and other nearby temples.
