Shopping in Loas
This is one of the most amazing things which I experienced during my stay in Laos. The Nam Ou River was just so fabulous and no regrets at all to make my way down just to travel from Muang Khua and southwards as I make my way down to Luang Prabang.
Due to some reasons, I could not get the slowboat down and I had not choice but to take a speed boat.
It was a scenic and rewarding journey. I bet anyone who travelled that route feels the same.
In any case, I shall attempt to describe the scenery there. It was like the Guilin of China at some parts, and as the boat moved on, the moutains on the 2 sides of the river ahead of me seemed to open up and there were some nice caves along the way.
Take someone else's cart (That's what we call a trolley here.) and replace it with your own when they're not looking.(Just make sure it doesn't have someone's purse in it..lol.)
See how many free samples you can get away with eating before they cut you off. (Try to get in an entire meal in!)Have a cart-crash derby. (This takes 4 people, 2 to push, 2 to ride. Make it even more hilarious by coming in with helmets on!)
Variation on the cart-crash derby - Have a cart race, from the time you get your cart, up and down every isle.
Make things out of food. (Build a cereal box castle in the middle of an aisle.)Ask ridiculous questions and call the employees by the wrong name. ("excuse me....uh...Mike.....(Nametag says Bob.)....do you have any Scuba Gear here?
How about prostitutes, you sell sex here right? Will this cheese make me fart?)Take a nap.
Anywhere.Skateboards, rollerblades, bicycles,
anything you can ride in the door.Find an intercom
and make phony announcements. (Atention shoppers, for the next ten minutes, everything is free, take as much as you can carry!)Follow people until they notice.
Then follow them some more until confronted and deny it. Then follow them again 5 minutes later. Have a mid-aisle picnic. If they ask you to leave, tell them that it's rude to interrupt someone's meal.
Ask them to join you. (Just make sure you can foot the bill.)This one's bad, but still funny. Pull a "jackass" and act like you're handicapped and use the little electric riding carts they have for fun.
Ram it as many times as possible into displays, knocking things down. When confronted, make sure you reak of alcohol and chastise them for taking advantage of the disabled. Wrong, I know.
Fill up a cart to the top with food, get in line to check out, make sure there's someone behind you, then say "wait just a moment, I forgot something." and walk away, leaving your cart there.
Then slip out the door. Mean, I know, but still funny when you wait to see their reactions.
