The archived ramblings of my time as a world traveler up to my current life in Washington, D.C.Luang Prabang
We didn't know how long we'd stay in Luang Prabang, but we ended up staying a few days more. The city is relaxed; the tourist area is the old town with French-style wooden buildings built during the colonial period.
The town is wedged in between two rivers. A hill rising in the center of town has a hill-top temple. At the bottom of the hill is the night market, where vendors sell cheap souvenirs and food. The food is grand, with several regional specialties (the main one is a sauce made up of chilis and dried buffalo skin).
The town has decided its main attraction to tourists are a few large waterfalls just outside Luang Prabang. As you walk, drivers constantly ask if you'd like to go to the falls in the local transport. This is accomplished with two words, so that you could be excused for thinking the name of the falls was "Tuk-tuk waterfall."
