And then we were done! We said goodbye to our guide at
the night market (after telling him to inform the hotel to pick us up at 9.30
lest we become stowaways again!) and went for another foot massage. Then some
last minute shopping and finally, since it was our last evening in Luang
Prabang, we sat at a street stall and had noodle soup. I chose the spicier one
known as “Khao Suey” but it wasn’t as spicy as expected.
Then back to our convenience store for the last time for
beer, chips and good conversation. At 9.30 p.m. we took the shuttle back to our
hotel. Before showering, I sat outside our room on the veranda enjoying the
night air, and Silvia joined me with a shot of Bekherov (Slovakian liquor
without sugar, it tasted foul!) and we were just sitting and talking when this
nasty creep in the room next to us stepped out and unkindly told us to keep it
down as he was trying to sleep. It was 10.30 p.m.
10.30 p.m.! Creep. Already I have a bad impression of Westerners and
today’s experiences merely confirmed my impression. Luckily our room doors did
not close very well so I took the opportunity to loudly close the room door
several times. I hope he stayed awake for the rest of the night, nasty creep.
