So I haven't been writing at all over the last three weeks, and I blame it all on school. I've actually been pretty boring the last three weekends, as I haven't left Bangkok, and I haven't even done much in Bangkok. We just finished midterm week, which wasn't even all that stressful. I only had two written midterms, and several projects. But it was enough to make travelling a no-go for a few weekends. But not to worry, that ends tonight!
Tonight I'm leaving for 10-12 days in Laos. I'm so excited. This is my first time leaving Thailand and this will be my first actual backpack trip. So far, I've only done weekend trips. I'm travelling with three other friends. If you ask me right now what we're going to do I would not have a single answer for you. All we know at this point is that we have a 13 hour overnight bus trip to get to the country. We'll be arriving in Vientiane and will probably spend at least a day or two. We do hope to make it to Vang Vieng and Luang Prabang which are both more northern than Vientiane. I'm excited to be spontaneous and to not have a strict plan that we have to follow. If we love one city we can spend as much time as we want there. And if we hate it, we only have to spend one night.
For anyone who knows me, they know that I always over pack for any trip (I don't like to be unprepared). So packing enough clothes and toiletries for 12 days in one 60L backpack wasn't the easiest task for me. But this shall be good practice if I ever do do a 2-3 month backpacking trip somewheres.
