my drink at breakfast Today we started off by eating breakfast near our guest house at Patu Xay Cafe, next to on of the Green Discovery agencies. We had ham baguettes and then went to recolor Ronald's fading hair color. Yesterday the woman told us she had the right kind of green so we went and she mixed it in and redyed his hair, but it was not at all what we expected. Now it pretty much just looks brown. Really now it just looks like he tried to dye his hair green without bleaching it first, so it has a little green tint in the light. We will try to remedy this situation ASAP. Anyways, after that fiasco we decided to walk to another hair salon because the woman there had said yesterday that they had a variety of colors to choose from. When we got there I showed her a picture of the color we wanted and she said no, so we went away disheartened.
We also stopped by the national museum (10,000 to enter) and I don't think I would go back. Pretty much everything there is on wikipedia...it was just a bunch of blown up pictures with one-sentence captions about
Breakfast
ham baguette things that have happened during the past century. But I guess there's not much else to do...
We walked along the riverside after this and I have to say...it's not much of a river over there. The part a little to the west is a large expanse with a little water at each side. There were even people in a tent in the sand in the middle of the river. We stopped at a restaurant & bar, The Spirit House, and it was lovely! Wooden tables and chairs and a patio by the river with open windows and ceiling fans welcomed us in to this location sporting a wonderful drink menu. I had a mojito and a Red Dragon, and we were off to see the famous monument that's on their money and shown everywhere, Pha That Luang. We tuk tuk'd there for 140,000 kip (round trip, but still so expensive!) at around 17:00. Bad idea. B. A. D. So much traffic.
While we were taking pictures our tuk tuk driver waited for us and then drove us home. There we saw a man making some sort of treat on his cart...rolled a ball of dough, cracked an
Skirts
they all wear these great folding skirts...I love it! even the school uniforms are these. egg in it, and then folded it over and added...cheese maybe? He made it on a crepe griddle and people were lining up, so it must have been good.
For dinner we went to the Lao Kitchen..amazing food I have to say. They didn't have any cold Carlsberg, so I had to switch to Beerlao Gold...sadly it is sort of bitter so I don't think I'll be drinking that again.
Technical Details * a lot of things here can be paid in Thai baht or Laos kip, and sometimes even in US dollars...crazy.
