The story of a travelling watergun : Pakse & Champasak Part 2


Pakse day 2 and second day of Lao New Year. The water fight was getting more verocious.We were off to visit some water falls around the Boulevan Plateau and were prepared to fight back on our 38km motorbike ride to the sites.

The people of Pakse, young and old, were out on the street that day. Drinking beer Lao, throwing buckets of water at passing vehicles or parading on pick up trucks while simultaneously doing the first two activities.

We first arrived at Itou waterfall after lunch. Having been shot with mud water by a bunch of children. damn. So I shot the first bunch of children I saw at the waterfall.

Itou was an amazing scene of water travelling down at 200km/hour from over 20 meter high. I just stood there for a while admiring it. The water was perfect for swimming. But the tree branches under the water gave me many scratches.



On our way to Champi Waterfall, a group of teenagers shot us with colored-liquid. Creating patches of fungus-like purple, green and brown on our tops. Luckily I wore this ridiculous t-shirt that I got at a gift exchange party. The stains won't go away.




But Champi's beauty worth the battle going there.
