Does Xbox Live Camera Oovoo

Luang Prabang, Laos (third)

-
Luang Prabang is a sleepy little town of 26,000 inhabitants surrounded by mountains and bordered by the Mekong. A place strongly influenced by the French presence in the 19th century, but also full of Buddhist culture.

A successful mix ... Luang Prabang is a city where life is good .... eat a croissant while watching the ballet of the monks in their orange tunic or slow drag boats on the Mekong or simply do nothing. You'll understand that the atmosphere is calm and nonchalance is required.

Wart Like Bump On Thumb

Luang Prabang, Laos (2 / 3)

The nonchalance is well ... but not too much! So we decided to go explore the surrounding mountains. Plantations, rice fields, villages follow the rhythm of "Sabaïdi" children.




lunch, we stopped in a Hmong village for a picnic. Arrived soon we become the attraction of the village: all children settle comfortably around us on small stools ... just to watch us eat! And no matter to ask for candy, money or anything else, it's just curiosity!

Islamic Prayer For Stomach Ache

Luang Prabang, Tak Bat ( Quest Bonzes), Laos (3 / 3) Pak Khlong Talat

6 am, all the monks out of their temple. An alms bowl hanging on their shoulder (baat) prêts à recevoir les offrandes de nourriture pour leur journée.

Le défilé orange commence dans le silence. Les baats se remplissent de riz, tant et si bien qu'ils débordent assez vite. Les moines jettent le surplus dans des paniers prévus à cet effet et continuent leur quête à travers la ville de façon à offrir la possibilité à tout le monde de donner.
