Luang Namtha, Laos
May 2018
In Luang Namtha we borrowed bicycles for the day and cycled out into the rice fields around town to visit smaller villages. We saw women washing their clothes in the river, we saw where the villagers make their intensely strong whiskey, we cycled at dusk past families burning their rubbish in the rice paddies, we sat in a hut in a field to try to escape the burning sun for a while, we chatted with a teacher in a local school who stopped us as we were going past on our bikes because he wanted to say hello and practice some English. The next day we said goodbye to Laos, and hello to China.
