Short Trip To Vientiane, Laos
Songkran morning in Vientiane for us was rather religious and peaceful in a way to celebrate this festive day with family. We went to a few temples in the area, pay respect to the ancestors, bath the monk statues and pray for prosperous life in a year ahead. Then when afternoon came around, that's the time we had party party.
First, because it was the exact day with my boy's birthday so we had a little gathering things to blow a cake for him. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon with friends. Having a wet party!!!! Water splashing everywhere!!! We were standing in the corner of the road, ready to take some revenge to any passerby who splash the water to us. But sometimes we the one who started the fight as well. It is a happy day so although you are dressed nicely that day about to go some meeting or so, and you get the water thrown at you, still you can't be angry at them. That's the rule!!!!
In the mean time the kids were having fun too. Play in the pop-up open-air pool. A pool party for kids.
And on the table there were lots of yummy food like roasted pork, papaya salad and some other Laotian dishes. We tried to cover up the food from time to time but of course we cannot totally avoid whenever the water came splashing. So to be truthful, it wasn't so hygienic, but so what!!! We just give it a missed for a day. I won't die because of that though.
The next day, after the big party day, we went chilling out for some lunch at water-float restaurant. The dining area is very unusual. Its consists of separate huts floating on the water. Each group of diners get their own hut. Very private!!! You can even close the curtain to be even more private. You are also allowed to bring your own radio or speaker, so you can have like a your-own-juke-box. Very chill and cool place. Talking about food. they were delicious too. But this time I didn't pay much attention on the food just enjoy the ambiance. (My apologize that there are any food pictures) What I could remember is the 'jumping' shrimp dish. Little shrimps was still very alive and jumping for their life when they got sprayed by juice of lime. Cruel but.

Our next meal is this famous naem neuong dishes (Vietnamese style grilled pork skewers). The grilled pork is served with rice paper roll, rice noodle and heaps of fresh vegetables and hers. There are fresh spring roll and deep fried spring roll as well in the house. For me, their deep fried spring roll was the winner.
