Ton Kham Wan @ Luang Prabang

After one of my hikes I ate on the east side of town at Ton Kham Wan on the edge of the Nam Khan River. Unlike the neighboring restaurants along this river, Ton Kham Wan offers the same low priced drinks and food you can find in town and provides the same beautiful water front view. While I feasted on pork basil, fried spring rolls and a dark Beerlao; I watched other tourists float past me toward the Mekong in rented inter-tubes.

Bangladesh Rally and Kangaroo

Today I was feeling adventurous and got off the train some place I didn't recognize called Martin Place. I came to realize that this is pretty much right in the middle of CBD where I've been many times. However today was a special event, in celebration of St Patrick's Day a Bangladeshi war crimes rally was happening. I stayed around for a little while the guy on the mike ranted about rising up and avenging our fathers killers. I asked the Bengals around me several times if there was any free beer and each time they would react differently; either giving me a new pamphlet or speaking some gibberish or even just walking away. I could see that they were avoiding answering my questions so I chose to go find more rational people.
