From Luang Prabang

  • Colored Eggs
  • It was boat racing season in Laos. The end of the Buddhist Lent marks the beginning of celebration. For Laotians, this means festivals and boating. The season culminates in a large competition in Vientiane, the capital city, at the end of October. Tha Phra was ultimately preparing for the Vientiane race, but first they had to earn their way and compete in small village races.
  • I squeezed my hips into the seat the best I could, and the young man in front of me took the handle end of his paddle, knocked it against the inside of the boat 3 times, and immediately (attention was given) the whole team bowed down in their seats. One more knock of the paddle, a guttural team noise in unison, and everyone sat upright poised with their paddles above the water; we were ready to begin the nightly ritual of boat practice.
