A view of Luang Prabang

Peering down on what is the town, Luang Prabang, we notice to types of people frequent this town. The first are the Luangan Prabangans. They live and work here or are monks. They go about their day doing their usual custom. The second type of person is not a resident here. This type of person is known as Backerus Packerus. He generally has a lump on his front and a lump on his back. They only stay around for a few days and then move on. Very nomadic. They generally have a book in front of them and they go from house to house, trying to find somewhere to sleep. These two species interact perfectly, as shown in the example that we can now see from across the road. The Luangan Prabangan is arguing a price with Backerus Packerus and as we can see they both have smiles on their faces. Why? Because we can see that Backerus Packerus has purchased an item and he thinks he has a bargain, but little does he know that the Luangan Prabangan has sold it to him for over twenty times the original purchase price.
That concludes our journey through Luang Prabang and summing up the town I would highly recommend a visit for all of you, sometime in the near future.
This is a very messed up David, wishing you all a good night.
