People from nearby villages

The kids are just phenomenal. When I bent down to say hi to one little guy, he reached out to the bush he was near, picked some flowers and offered them to me. Some of the kids followed us around town as we walked around, and one girl burst into tears when saw me coming over. I guess she hasn't had much exposure to falangs... but in general, people just kept doing what they were doing. In this particular village, their economy wasn't based on tourists dropping by, though the ones by the Mekong certainly were. They had shops set up, including demonstrations of how their products were made. Nevertheless, there were always some village members who just went about their business, like the sweet old monk having a cigarette on his balcony, or the elderly lady cooking up some food.

Monks in LP
The 3 little monks who let me in to see a wat that had its doors closed. They giggled the entire time.
