Laos

Time spent: 15 days
Mosquito bites: in the region of 5, plus leeches!
On budget/time: didn't plan to come here at all originally so time to make up in Thailand
Lost/stolen: chucked stinky T-shirts!
Sound of Laos: Pink Floyd and the Scorpions
Taste of Laos: Noodle soup ad nauseum
Drink of Laos: Laos Beer is excellent, lao lao whisky not bad too!
Highlights of Laos: Gibbon experience, experience of bus journeys, tubing was different, lots of good things!

Laos is a very green country. I enjoyed the scenery, passing through towns and villages. Going to less touristy places and also relaxing in some more tourists places. Went to plenty of sights which are different to all that went before: tubing, jars, war caves, gibbon experience. Also found it much easier to meet people here, counterintuitively in the more remote places! Would definitely recommend if you're feeling adventurous!
