Currently in Stung Treng for a day before making the trek to HCMC, Vietnam. Virtually no tourists come here, only to go to the Laos boarder, so I am loving it. The other nice thing about see less explored towns is that moto's and tuk tuk's are rarely an annoyance. But I hit the jackpot. A calm, friendly faced man came up to me and asked what I was up to. Not pulling me this way or that, yelling that I should stay here and go there and do this. He simply said, I have a guesthouse, $3 a night by the gas station if you like. Yes, yes I do.
Of course it's down an alley, I would have never found it without him, away from the main craziness and it's lovely! Two other families live here and it's a nice little compound. I don't even have to leave to eat because one of the women of the families is on it. She asked what I would like for breakfast in the morning and I kid you not the second I stepped out of my room it was ready and on the table for me! What are these acts of kindness? also got to share some with her little boy who wanted my breakfast and not his. Très cute!
Fun fact: if all else fails, ask a monk or take an alley.
