Vientiane Day 27. See and be seen in VTE.
After four weeks being surrounded by fellow foreign workers and tourists whenever I hang out, I asked my friend, who's been here for over a year, where do the hip and happening Vientianese go. The canteen TV always screens Laotian pop music videos and they're not bad at all. So I want to see where the cool people on TV hang out in real life.
My friend Anf threw a farewell party last night, starting with dinner at "Moon the Night", a restaurant with a great sunset view and delicious local food, followed by a karaoke session and spontaneous decision to dance the night away at the "Marina" - a popular entertainment center where the Vientianese go to see and be seen.
I spotted a modest use of hair products among the guys. Dark pants and long sleeve shirts seem to be the trend. The petite-figured Laotian girls flaunt it all in tight mini dress.And they're blond. Thai pop songs reign the music scene as well as Pitbull, Usher and the Oyo-yo dance number which I don't bother to search for the title. Two butches was about to fight before the bouncer stepped in and pulled them apart. Drunk American tourist came on too strong to a pretty Laotian girl who doesn't speak English. And Anf break it down in his robot dance moves. All is good in VTE.
The best part was when the sprained-neck Sarah and I had to cycle 5km back home in the middle of the night.POSH.
