Tubing

Vang Vieng people!!!! this is the place to be. I have just come in after my second day of tubing. What is tubing you may ask? Well esentially it invonlves me getting into an old tractor tyre tube and floating down a river. Now that doesn't sound all that exciting. Well that is where you would be wrong. What I didn't tell you was that every 100 metres or so there is a bar set up at the river bank where you can buy beer and swing into the rier from platforms at leasdt 5 or 6 metres high. it is the best fun ever on this planet. You meet loads of people and have the laugh and ,as an Irishman, get sunburned. Some of the swings into the water are really scary. There was one that was definitely 8 or 9 metres high and I swear I was really shitting (excuse the language) myself. For another one it took Colin about 5 minutes to actually jump off the platform. We really had to convince him to do it. It is such a great day and it only costs $4 to rent the tube. Beers along the way cost a dollar. I love this country!!!!!!! The town of Vang Vieng is really cool too. Every bar here has loads of TVs and they are showing either Friends, The Simpsons, or movies all day long. Seriously, if you wanted you could lounge around all day watching 10 or 20 episodes of Friends if you felt like it. What a cool town. Guys, if you ever come to this part of the world you have to get your ass to Laos and Vang Vieng. its wicked. Chat later. Gotta go get food and watch a movie. bye bye
