Today we left Vang vieng to go to Vientiane (the capital of Lao) for dinner. We went to a little restaurant where I had fried pork with chips... mmm. We went to the night market where there were loads of stalls! There were shops that had TV's playing gangnam style and someone was selling 2 puppies!
Today we spent all day doing homework in the place we had breakfast.
Later in the afternoon we hired bikes from the hotel and cycled up along the Mekong river.
Aoife rode on the back of Rionas' bike. We rode up past our hotel, going over rubble which was there because they were building a new road which was supposed to be finished in 2009! At the other side of the river was Thailand.
We went out to dinner at a restaurant called Makphet. It is a charity restaurant built to help street kids get a qualification in cooking and hospitality. Even though it was quite expensive in comparison to many places in Lao, it felt better because it was going to a good cause.
The food was delicious.
