Party 1 in Luang Prabang
October 21, 2002

Partying with Beer Lao and makdeuay seeds in Xiengngeun, near Luang Prabang, Lao PDR. Everyone here was amazingly friendly. One old man came up to me, reached out his hand to shake mine, said, "Nice to meet you" and walked away. Others had small plastic cups and large bottles of Beer Lao. I lost count of the number of cups offered to me. (All of which I accepted of course. You don't expect me to be rude, do you? :)
