After soaking up Pai for a couple weeks I'm going to push on (it would be easy to stay). Next stop Luang Prabang, Laos. The place is supposed to be incredible. I'll get a two week visa at the boarder crossing and plan on staying the full time. I plan to see Vientiane (the capital), Luang Prabang, do some toobing down the river in Vang Vien, who knows what else, before moving into Vietnam.
Pai has been good to me. I met a local brother/sister who are awesome and know everyone in the place, Fook and Jane. They showed me around the nightlife and know whats going on. The town pretty much closes around 1:00am with the exception of a few late night spots that really aren't that special. I've been pretty much lazy and loving it. Yesterday I got back from a two day river rafting trip that was fun, but much slower paced than the pictures in the pamphlet would have you imagine.
This is day two of a three day celebration over here, I'm still not clear what exactly is being celebrated, but it has to do with Buddha, last night there were hundreds of these lanterns floating around in the sky, pretty cool sight (they work like mini hot-air balloons), and the streets are packed full of locals, tourists and the likes milling around. There are three stages set up, live music and of course incredible food. I guess that about wraps it up, I can't get the picture uploader to work, I might try again tomorrow...love you all. Adam
