In Which I Encounter Far Too Many Western Tourists in Vang Vieng

I understand that I am a western tourist and have no right to judge, but when you can't throw a rock without hitting 10 hungover 20somethings with too many tats in a town of 25,000, well, I think I can judge. I'm not entirely sure what they do here, other than drinking at the bars on the river, or drinking while tubing down the river (then passing out and having to be taken by boat back to the town). All I can say is that I wish I had more time in Vientiane and less time in what appears to be spring break in Cancun with an opium chaser.
