Win a Calendar (closed)

In case you missed it, we just put a new 2012 Around The World Calendar in our shop over the weekend. It features some of our favorite photos from our travels and doubles as a set of postcards. 

We'd like to give a calendar to one of our blog readers! Leave a comment below letting us know one trip (near or far) you are planning to take in 2012. We will draw a winner at random from the comments.   

** Giveaway closes Wednesday, November 30 at 10pm PST and will be announced here on the blog Thursday morning. Check back to see if you won.

Around Luang Prabang | 2 of 3

Some more images from our time in Luang Prabang. We did a lot of walking.

P.S. 

We'll be giving away one of our new 2012 calendars here on the blog early next week! 

Taxis looks like this...

We passed by several courts with guys playing a crazy game called "takraw". Similar to volleyball, but they can only use their feet/head instead of hands. These guys are flexible! It was extremely entertaining to watch.

Amazing bamboo bridge crossing a river. 

Making furniture.

Traditional silk weaving.

Wood carving.

Paper making (first started in China and then spread to nearby countries like Laos).

Sheets of handmade paper drying in the sun.

Stopped to watch this kid get a haircut...

... and Yuriy decided he needed a shave. Looks like he is on an operating table to me.

Really professional in here. Love the wall art. 

According to Yuriy, not nearly as good as the shave he got in Istanbul. He had cuts all over!

Some of the amazing foods we put in our tummies...

Nutella crepes and dirt cheap fruit smoothies.

There's a colorful night market that happens every night on the main road in Luang Prabang. A good place to bring some kip (Lao currency).
