Day 6: Vientiane

Every trip has a few defining moments and this was one of them. If you recall, I'd just barely escaped from China earlier in the day. When I finally got to Laos, I took a tuck-tuck from the airport to my hotel, visited a couple of national monuments and then walked a few miles into town for dinner. I was completely bushed.
I found a restaurant next to the Mekong River and it was absolutely tranquil. Everything and everyone was totally chill and I sat back in my chair with a full-body sigh and thought, "I am half-way round the world sitting next to the Mekong River having dinner! Amazing! How is this possible?!?"
