Laos – Im Schatten der Vergangenheit. Eine Reise durch eines der ärmsten Länder der Welt

Once I arrived in Nong Kiao I found the peace I was looking for. The sleepy village is located by a river which goes into the Mekong River close to Luang Prabang. Only a few meters left and right from the river Mattock Mountains grow like mushrooms towards the sky. You can hear the sounds of insects, birds and monkeys which come from the never ending green of the jungle. It was a good live in this part of paradise. And it didn’t get boring because I met already at the first day Patrick and Stefan from Germany who both are traveling by their own.

Bei einer meiner Wanderungen wäre ich fast in dieses Spinnennetz gelaufen...

Somehow after a while the whole village knew that I was going to drive to Luang Prabang so my car was completely booked. In Luang Prapang I met a girl who worked in a tourism company and I learned some useful stuff like that when you want to buy some souvenirs at the local market, the people already tell you a price which is close to the real price. They don’t like the hard negotiating and they will accept prices even if they don’t earn any money with it. So please dear reader: When you plan to travel to Lao, please accept the prices they tell you at the market or just negotiate a little. The people there need the money so much!
