Vientiane Day 56. Fulfilling last wishes
3 friends left Vientiane this week. So there was a band of people who dedicated their evenings following them around to fulfill their last wishes before leaving. Me included.
The bonus is getting to do all the things I haven't done in a long time.or never been done at all.
1. Sunset-viewing dinner. One of them asked me once, where do I go to see sunset in Jakarta or Singapore? My answer was "the only thing I care about during sunset is whether I've completed my deadlines for the day so I can go home in decent hour". Sunset viewing be damned.
So being able to appreciate this 10 mins of nature "shift change", with the people that I like, is a luxury that I treasure.
2. Weekdays night out. Ladies night is not a concept here. With hardly no cover charge and cheap drinks, you don't need incentive to wait for ladies night to go out. And there's enough room for everyone,everywhere. I just need to put on my helmet and off we go...
3. Farewell dance. We forgot to get a present for a really good friend, which speaks volume of how good of friends we are. As replacement, I performed two 3-mins-piece of Balinese dances :Tari Oleg Tamulilingan and Tari Manukrawa. They are the the easiest - because I have the music downloaded on my laptop. He looked really happy with the gift.
With these shortage of group members, we've decided that we need to actively recruiting good looking people who will look good in our outing photos. Apparently one is coming in the next 2 weeks.
