Day 3 - Sekong good food n spoon~






Day 3 (still the 25 day of our traveling) - After another 3-4 hours 100km/hr driving we arrived Sekong. It was almost night time. We found a very nice guesthouse with a private balcony, hot shower (yay!!) and air con. We were all quite exhausted from this afternoon's waterfall hunt n the long way fast n furious driving.

Heard there was a very good restaurant in town, with great variety of food, what would be better than food? We were so dedicated to find it out. Food was awesome good. There was short history of Laos and tips on the menu which was very interesting too. In Lao, there were 4 common order, laap (traditional lao dish), curry with beef / pork / chicken / buffalo, sweet n sour with the same 4 kinds of animals and pan fried of the same 4 kinds. I can't not mention sticky rice. My favorite of all.

Lao people finish their day early. Nothing more fun than playing cards as we were the only 4pp in town still awake after 11pm. We ordered a bag of Lao Lao (traditional Lao wine made by sticky rice, no taste but only feel the burning in the throat) n some soda. Here the war started. It was brutal to watch. We started playing spoon (totods los dias). It was brutal to watch because Ari lost most of the time and she did most of the drinking. After I had finished my 2nd shot, she had already 6. People enjoy watching people in pain sometimes. We had Lao Loa chocolate shake in flame. Let's get creative for the looser!!

Spoon is an awesome drinking game. the possibility of loosing is very small yet everyone probably lost at least once or twice under the accumulative system. So, conclusion is, either no play or prepared to be punished. Our days of Lao Lao started as the spoon war started here.
