...about half a mile from my goal, well beyond the range of a wireless-access point, and--communitarian spirit notwithstanding--I am not feeling encouraged to go the rest of the way. This seems like the kind of neighborhood in which home defense is enthusiastically practiced. The glow of good feeling fading, I wind down the hill to NAN No. 2, at an intersection in the leafy neighborhood of East Washington Village. I pull up to the southeast corner and unleash my laptop's sniffer. Nothing. Feeling increasingly foolish, I wheel my car to the three other corners, which yield...
...long pipe which gently curves upward; it is suspended without the use of his hands, instead propped up at its wider end by a pole that extends from the water. Around the faded, sepia-like tones of the photograph rise okra-colored stalks of grass from the marsh; the glow of the sun can be faintly seen from the horizon in the distance. The image maintains a surreal and ethereal levity, and the inaudible music of the pipe calls out to us as might the Islamic call to prayer...

Huge, fishbowl-like windows create odd—if interesting—exchanged glances between the diners...
BOOKS ON TAP Don't be fooled by the pretentious name?L'estranger Literary Salon is Luang Prabang's coolest bar, perched on the second floor of a gorgeous teakwood shophouse overlooking the Nam Khan river in Thanon Kingkitsalat. Paper lanterns cast a gentle glow over cushions scattered invitingly about the polished wooden floor, as a mix of funk and trip-hoppy sounds filter from the speakers. Marvel at the collection of old National Geographics lining the upstairs walls or browse in the secondhand bookshop downstairs...
