This evening, I was invited to a goodbye party for my friend’s coworker who will be heading back to Germany the next day. At the dinner I had this very delicious drink called Lao Gear (or something like that) that consisted of whiskey, pineapples, apples, dragon fruit…and other sorts of fruit.
After a very cozy dinner we headed to a second round of after party!
We arrived at an underground live pub in Vientiane. The moment we entered the pub, I saw waitresses wearing cowboy hats, a big TV screen on the left showing a soccer match; the pub was decorated in a shabby underground atmosphere – broken wooden frames, vintage beer logos, and graffitis. I looked around and found out that the place was surprisingly filled with local Lao people.
A band called “Whisper” was playing rock music – from all time favorites such as Sweet Child of Mine to rock versions of Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift.
We all sang along and clapped and tapped to the beats when a familiar tune came up.
Listening to the lead-singer singing “Home” by Michael Buble and sipping Beerlao quietly, I’ve never felt so relaxed in a strange place so far away from home.

ReplyDeleteok now that i know it works... I think it's funny that a place called "Whisper" would play rock music... crazy laotians. omg i just discovered laotian is the correct term because a red squiggle didn't appear. at first i put lao-tians if you must know.
