Yahoo festival on the water-Vang Vieng

So if you want to have special food, then this could be the place for you. I am talking special pancakes, shakes, tea and pizzas. Why are they special, because you can have them made with either, opium, mushrooms or marijuana. I hear they are pretty good! I call this place the biggest yahoo fest around because you can rent a tube and float down the Mekong river and stop about every 500-1000 ft at a new bar. Every young kid from Europe seemed to be here. This business is probably the most popular I have seen in Laos, people line up to get tubes for their adventure. Mind you, this is probably not the safest thing one could do, this morning I saw lots of carnage walking around the streets. But the beauty of the whole thing is, is that it is Laos and basically you can do what you want. That means setting up a bar on the Mekong, putting up some really sketchy swing into the river, or some really dodgy huge water slide and get away with it. Mind you a girl died here about a month ago. It was a trip to see, but not really my seen. The total float is about 3k's with a bar about every 500 meters. This business is rocking for Laos standards, and it is all cash! I can tell you the water slide and the rope swings were big, bigger than I have ever scene, put it this way, I met a kid this morning that dislocated his shoulder just on his entry into the Mekong after the swing. But hey ' it was worth it man'. So anyway, enough of the yahoo fest, I moved on this morning, going south and getting more excited about the the surfing to come every day! Hope all is well- cheers my friends
