went to laos

got back from chiang my to bangkok, then took night train to laos.
when to vientiate, the capital, it was pretty laid back and nice.. then took a 2 dollar bus for 4 hours to vieng vaing. its a place that has somehow got popular at first cus of its beautiful environment, river, caves etc.. so ppl would go scuba diving, rock climbing, kaykaiing.. but then drugs got popular, like mushrooms, pot and opium, now everyone sells "happy food"... anyway then that got popular, and ppl wanted to chill out, so there were tons of bars that sprung up, playing friends reruns, on full volume, with places to laydown and watch... at night time when i walked around, i probably saw about 10 bars within 100 meters of eachother, all playing friends reruns, with high/drunk foreigners laying down drinking beer, eating shakes and pizza, and watching friends, in the middle of no where laos.. viang viang is like population 5000 or something small, kind of like in this desssert like place, mostly poor and abandoned except for this one strip of road, with bars and neon lights.. its insane.. i stayed there for 1 nite and then left... really weird. kinda twilight zone ish...

i plan to go to china soon, today or tomorrow will start, but i get there by taking night train to laos, then either bus, train or plane to hanoi vietnam, then 45 hour train from hanoi to peking. i mean beijing china.
