Food markets abroad are always interesting, and this market didn't disappoint. Maggots, locusts, dried bats, snakes, frogs and a pretty big lizard. And all before we'd had breakfast...! We stuck to our muesli medley.

Another highlight of Luang Prabang is the night market. Other South-East Asian markets are incredibly noisy and you get shouted at as
you walk pass, normally along the lines of "lady, buy something".
Here, the market is one of the most peaceful places. The vendors are usually ladies,
and there are babies/small children asleep everywhere - some under what look
like giant food nets to keep the mosquitos away. It's possible to browse
without the vendors bringing out their giant calculators and trying to seal a deal.
Very refreshing!
