The Unesco world heritage town Luang Prabang is the second biggest city in Laos with just 150.000 inhabitants. Of these 150.000 there are at least 500 monks, who wake up at 5.30 every morning to receive gifts from the locals and the tourists. With cameras and baskets of rice the tourists line up on the side of the street to give a hand full of rice to the passing monks.
The whole ritual is more like a daily routine for the monks and they all looked kind of borred while receiving their food for the day.
We, the gang from the Gibbon Experience, got to Luang Prabang with the slowboat on the Mekong river. This 2 day trip on a packed boat stops over at a small village and once in Luang Prabang it is interesting to see all these familiar faces. "Hey, you also was on our boat, right?"
We did a daytrip to a very nice waterfall and went bowling, because this is the only venue open after 23.30 at night.
