Fish of the Mekong River

Boat in Mekong River

Sayang, ga sempet bnyk jalan di Vientiane coz kerjaan betumpuk benerr! Suatu sore, gw dan Carla curi waktu sekedar jalan kaki keluar hotel. Mampir ke toko jewelry milik seorang India, kita dikasih teh Chai khas India yg bikin rasa cape sedikit hilang.

Malam terakhir di Vientiane, me, Carla, Thongphane (my Laotian boss), and Phongsavat (a friend from Foreign Ministry Laos) went for a dinner di suatu resto in a middle of a rice field! Org2 Laos tnyt ramah n cerewet, seneng minum bir n bangga bgt sama bir lokal mrk "Lao Beer":) Makanan Laos sendiri spicy, pedes2 asem.. ada sayuran mirip pecel, daging ayam yg rasanya kyk bebek n ikan gede fresh dr Mekong river yg dagingnya putih lembut n walopun amis tp rasanya tetep asik! lalu disuguhin jg Tom Yang Kung yg rasanya asli... enaaaak bgt! Gw sempet diwanti2 soal makanan di Laos, tp Alhamdulillah perut gak protes tuh dijejelin ikan sungai Mekong :)

Vientiane... for friendships and a nice afternoon, this sleeping beauty is simply charming ...
