luang prabang

Luang Prabang, Laos, is outrageously beautiful. Calm, serene, mountainous, the People's Democratic Republic (Laos P.D.R.) goes at its own pace and does things just right. In 1995 it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site and so most of its history and culture is preserved, with a French influenced style. Excellent cafes, wine bars, and amazing baguette sandwiches for just a dollar. This is the view from Mount Phousi, in the middle of town.
