luang prabang, laos

our first stop in laos was luang prabang, the old french capital

shhh. i think this monk was in time out.

something ricey and round drying in the sun. homemade rice cakes, maybe? seems easier to buy them at safeway.

farms along the riverbank, also a really small guy.

high school band jam. joren felt right at home. i guess they have dorks in laos, too.

I feel sorry for the monk who didn't get to participate in Monk Chat. Dispatch these conversation starters to him at once:

1. Do you guys use real saffron to dye your robes, or is that just soy saffron?

2. If I say "me love you long time" to a Buddhist, am I kidding myself? I mean, am I comparing myself to some indefatigable tantrica? Y'know what I'm sayin'?

3. Did you ever see any of those Swift Boat Veterans For Truth out on the Mekong, back in the day? They were assholes, weren't they.

4. Got any Thai stick?

5. Is this persistent rash burning off any karma for me, or am I totally screwed?
