25May09 Luang Phabang in Laos

Hi!!! I came to Luang Phabang in Laos from Bangkok by bus. Total almost 24 hour....($36) It was really hard. But the chepest way,, It can't be help it,, coz I don't have a job,, I can not make money anywhere;(

After arrive at Luang Phabang, I went to night market. It was really nice! I liked it, coz there are cute stuff:):)

In the morening, I saw "TAKUHATSU" (English : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takuhatsu) (Japanese : http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%89%98%E9%89%A2) Around 05:30 am.

It was fantastic!!! I have seen only one person in Japan, But Ive never seen like that.

After take a nup, I walked around city. I went to Wat Xiengthong and Phousi (Entrance fee 20,000kip/each) .Wat Xiengthong was built in 1560 by king, the temple's relief, decoration of mosaic tiles and painting on the wall are very beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

There were painting on rafter(Taruki), as well!After the temple, I went to Phousi on a hill. It was hard to go there,,,, I don't know the temparture,, but very high,, After climbed I could see Mekong River and town of Luang Phabang. Anyway, I found interesting sign. I liked it:):):)
