Luang Prabang is a gorgeous UNESCO city with temples everywhere. While I was eating breakfast one day, a Laos girl walked up to me and tried to sell me a bracelet. I’m a pretty hard sell, but she sat down and I started asking questions about her life. In the end, she got me to buy her a mango shake, and I ended up getting a bracelet… but I did get a little insight into her everyday life, which made it well worth it.
