We were in Laos for about twenty minutes and so there aren't a lot of tales to tell. It was incredibly warm, humid, and green. We saw a small village there and got to see a few shops, so we looked around, prayed a little, and then got in our boat back to Thailand. They had hundreds of bottles of some sort of alcohol with cobras and different snakes as well as scorpions, and all manner of weird things. Our guide took a swig from a huge glass jar, with a cobra and several other dead reptiles sort of floating around inside, and graciously offered us some as well. Needless to say, we kindly declined.
