I realized that I completely left out Laos in all of the tales of my Southeast Asia trip thus far. That's sad considering Laos was probably my favorite country to have visited in that part of the world.
(Just to be clear, I don't know that I will ever be able to pick a favorite place in all the world so at this point I'm sticking to the idea of having a favorite per continent.)
I really had to book it going through Laos and that was unfortunate. Honestly the nature of the country has nothing to do with speed. Everything is done at its natural pace and typically that tends to be quite slow. Something that those of us living in the States have a problem with.
It certainly helped me realize how impatient I've become, especially after living in such an incredibly efficient place as Taiwan.
Either way, Laos was amazing. Slowing down really helped me take everything in. It's an amazingly beautiful country.
