2nd stay in Luang Prabang

Am Samstag, 01.02. I made my way back to Luang Prabang in the morning. On the bus, I met a German girl who happened to have booked the same hostel as me. This time it was a different hostel than my last stay in Luang Prabang, I wanted to be more in the center. In the evening, we went to the night market together - the largest in Laos. Tourists walked up and down in two rows, it took about 20 minutes for one row (I'm bad at measuring distances, but it was really big ;) )<figure><img src='/uploads/501ddc90-4fe9-11ea-8cdd-75e676bb533a.jpg_large.jpg' alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure> <figure><img src='/uploads/58677190-4fe9-11ea-8cdd-75e676bb533a.jpg_large.jpg' alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure><figure><img src='/uploads/6b49bbb0-4fe9-11ea-8cdd-75e676bb533a.jpg_large.jpg' alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure>Right in front of our hostel we had the so-called "Morning Market". You could buy all kinds of vegetables and fruits here. I claim to know quite a few different types of vegetables and fruits (thanks to my mom), but here there was a lot that I had never seen in my whole life before. For the first time since my time in Asia, I missed being able to cook for myself in the hostels. In Canada, that was standard, but not in Asia. I wanted to go wild at the market and buy everything possible (even if I didn't know what it was). In the end, we bought a few things the next morning and a fresh baguette - that was our lunch. So far, I had always eaten vegetables that were already processed with spices in a dish. Now it was the first time to eat a tomato, bell pepper and cucumber raw and the taste was incredible. Not comparable to Germany, it tasted so natural and actually a bit greener, it's hard to describe ;)<figure><img src='/uploads/7c9e39e0-4fe9-11ea-8cdd-75e676bb533a.jpg_large.jpg' alt /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><figure><img src='/uploads/8d8d8da0-4fe9-11ea-8cdd-75e676bb533a.jpg_large.jpg' alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure>In the evening, we went to a well-known bar right by the water. There we sat on carpets with cushions and blankets on the floor, drank beer and played cards, and ended the evening that way. <figure><img src='/uploads/91ca7400-4fe9-11ea-8cdd-75e676bb533a.jpg_large.jpg' alt /><figcaption></figcaption></figure>
