Tho Vientiane is the capital of Laos, it's almost comparable to Klang by the looks of it. It is another boring city to me...didnt feel like spending a lot of time here. So, we did all the sightseeings during the day and decided to leave the next morning. But the night in Vientiane was fun. I met 2 Czechs on the bus and hung out together that night drinking on the (side of) street. There were so many weirdos in the wee hours in Vientiane. A deaf n mute dude was walking pass n decided to join our company. So there we were trying to communicate with him in sign language even tho we've never been trained. It occurred to me that sign language isnt that difficult and I actually understood what he was trying to tell. After that, Mr Hiccups turned up and started talking to us in Lao....always ending a sentence with a hiccup. And we were teasing him by faking hiccups when we talk. These weirdos didnt seem to be in a hurry to leave.,..and we were getting bored. So we went back to the room and had a few more. Was worried I'd be late for the bus the next day.
