A day to the East - Phonsavan

Day 15 - woke up at 545am to the market in order to grab some deep fried bananas for another 8 hours ride to the South. Goodbye to Zaid, Martin n Anna, me and Laura started our journey at 830am from Sam Neua.

Apart from me and Laura, all the others were locals. If there is a spiting competition, i think passengers on this minibus would win. Every now and then i heard people spiting thru the window. The lady sitting in front of me, definately the gold metal winner. seriously, as i had not much better thing to do on a minibus, i subconciously watching her all the way. She spitted at least 100 times or more. what was worst, she has been evolved from spitting to vomitting. that was gross. it was windy. you could image i was sitting at the back watching everything.

These 8 hours wasn't too pleasant, honestly. i am glad i arrived n left the spitting championship. As recommended by Martin, we checked in a very nice guesthouse, where seriuosly called "nice guesthouse". it was the first time i had a bath tub. Thank God for that. that's exactly what I needed.

Not cheap. it was 90,000 kip (USD 12) for tonite shared between 2. Wooo~~ cost as much as JD coke in Yumla. Lao is cheap. I love it.
