The guesthouse we are staying at is located near big Buddhist temple, so our day begins with the sacred songs and mantras. Today, we head to visit two waterfalls we\u2019ve found at the map:\u00a0<em>Tad Kouang Si<\/em>\u00a0is described as bigger one; however,\u00a0<em>Tad Se<\/em>\u00a0with its bluish-white cascades is definitely more impressive. It\u2019s also good with the lack of tourists since it\u2019s harder to get there. It\u2019s especially hot today and I can\u2019t even think of anything better than riding bikes and swim in refreshing waters of cool clean mountain rivers on a day like this. The celebration begins in the evening and the main part of it is all kinds of pyrotechnical shows. It bangs and explodes in every narrow street of the town and sometimes I get a feeling I am at a firing ground. A big symbolic boat is being made at the temple; later tonight it, decorated with the candles, will drift down the river with hundreds of smaller boats. There is only one bar in the town where one can have a drink and some music after 11PM. The music is not really what we like, but we have our own CD\u2019s with us. Now this must be first time Latvian band Brainstorm is playing in Luangprabang! However, it looks like it\u2019s only us who are happy about it. Okay, we put Paul Simon on: the reaction is still the same. \u201c<em>Do you like the music?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Janis asks a backpacker-woman sitting next to him. She only shrugs:\u00a0<em>\u201cI better listen to Shakira.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One just has to believe!
