We chose Family Guy for our breakfast entertainment and watched that until lunch when we moved to another restaurant to watch Friends. It's our last day in Vang Vieng, but Rachelle isn't sad to be leaving tomorrow. I enjoy the televisions in the restaurants, as our rooms of the past two weeks have been devoid of them, but I am pleased to be leaving too I suppose. Unless you want to get drunk tubing every day, there's not much to do. Furthermore, the locals don't smile here. Sometimes they don't even try to talk. I think they're upset because it's as if tourists have plagued their town. Their anguish is understandable.
As it's our last day we go tubing again, but the excitement we had the first time is gone because we are familiar with it and a lot of the fun was the mystery behind the activity - not knowing what to expect from each bar and all that. I did get offered a Happy Menu for the first time, which is basically a drugs menu. Of course, I didn't use it. I also had a shot from a bottle of whiskey that had some strange animal bone - potentially a spine - which made me throw up in the river. Not my proudest moment, but I cracked open a can of Beerlao to wash the taste away. I'll avoid drinks with animal parts in them from now on.
The evening was spent in a deserted bar that sold buckets of Lao whiskey and coke for one pound and gave free shots. We also ate baguettes later on.
