Louang Prabang, Laos
The beautiful town of Louang Prabang in northern Laos is well known for its many temples and monasteries.
At the famous Wat Xieng Thong, these two novices started talking to us to improve their english... A very interesting conversation about life in a monastery and in rural Laos.

I had a really fun experience in Luang Prabang. I spotted a group of novice monks at a table indulging in an arm wrestling competition. When I walked over to try I take some photos they stopped immediately as if they were being scolded. They refused to continue so I put my camera away and challenged the biggest one to spirited bout of arm wrestling..I will never forget that.
cool experience colin! thx for sharing this :)
Luang Prabang is such an amazing place to get in touch with the guys in the robe.. and in their leisure time they act as any other same aged :D
