Pounding the streets of luang prabang

Funny day - walking the streets of this town looking for an alternative hotel - no luck - finding hidden alleys, wandering monks, dogs that aren't starving and are not scared of people:), no one yells at you or honks their horns here!!!!! Makes me realize how living in Vietnam has altered my sense of reality so profoundly .....
Also realized the way not to make friends is by arguing with(other) tourists as to why they shouldn't buy reptiles pickled in alcohol in exotic looking jars.....
I hate going away by myself but refuse to let that stop me from exploring

PS. If any blippers are in luang prabang...... Please let me know:)
