我們參加了個整天的tour

我們使用kip付錢，而代辦內的先生告訴我們，昨晚的價錢有錯誤

不管怎樣，一大早我們又多付了40,000 kip
Anyway, we paid 40,000 kip each this morning.

在我來寮國之前，許多朋友告訴我，別在到達當地之前就預訂好房間
Before I came to Laos, many friends told me not to make a reservation first.

They should pick us up from our guesthouse at 10:00 AM.
我們從09:40一直等到約10:45

早餐之後，為了找Information Centre，我們開始亂走

Jörn對我而言是個好旅伴，因為他也是個猛照相人
Jörn is a great person for travelling because he also takes photos all the time.
差不多20分鐘後，我們發現完全走錯路

接著，再次搭了tuk tuk

由於前陣子才去過吉隆坡
