Day 7: Vang Vien

After a brief rest, I left the hotel to do a little exploring. While quite compact, Vang Vien was packed with backpacker activities. It appeared to be a veritable playground for twenty-somethings traveling the world looking for a good time. It was becoming clear to me that Vang Vien was Southeast Asia party central.
The two foot bridges in the picture led out to an island that was home to a multitude of bars. The sign above the bridge on the right is welcoming you to Lucky Bar while the one of the left is inviting you to Smile Bar. The people of Vang Vien clearly wanted nothing else than for you to be happy (more on that later). Personally, I was feeling pretty good!
