Hello and welcome to the wonderful land of Laos, which really should be spelled and pronounced "Lao" but some French administrator screwed THAT one up big time back when they were colonizing away. We spent a couple days lazing around Luang Prabang up in the mountains, a perfect little colonial chic city that has actually been preserved as opposed to run over with a six-lane highway (at least for now) and went on a "hill tribe" trek in the mountains where we hung out in a hill tribe village and harrassed leetle hill tribe children, watched dudes with no pants on set traps for fish and birds etc. and lost ourselves in the mountain wilderness of Laos. Enjoy.
