happiness continued

in addition to 'happy pizza', you can get "doctor 'o' tea" ('o' stands for opium) or 'happy mushroom shakes' (no need for explanation). vang vieng is a weird place. it's the khao san road (bangkok) of lao. on the main strip, there are all these guesthouses with restaurants in the front with big lounge mats and tables facing loud television sets. lots of backpackers laying back watching movies and feeling the effects of 'happiness'. on one half-block section, i saw 3 different jennifer aniston flicks or shows being shown. just like raoul duke knew when to leave vegas in 'fear and loathing', that was my cue to leave this town.
everybody knows that a town that features jennifer aniston and hallucinogens, is not a good combination. that's a sure fire signal to vacate.

good with any combination, try Dónde está Ché Pelotas?
