Engerland..Engerland..Engerland!


Vang Vieng, located in Laos' Vientiane prefecture is blessed by nature with a commanding position on the Nam Song river overlooked by dramatic limestone cliffs. 

The real draw here though is the unique cultural nighlife, home to the (unfortunately far from endangered) Engerlander GaperYearer Backerpackerus.  Easily identifiable by its minimalist tribal costume of board shorts or bikini's (worn at all hours of the day and night), members can often found lounging in TV bars eating happy pizza's and watching endless reruns of Friends and Family Guy on big screens.

Other activities include wandering the streets in packs, armed with large bottles of Beer Lao and scaring off potential predators with loud group chant singing.

Be warned however these creatures are dangerous and should be approached with extreme caution if at all. In capturing the above images StKildaFlaneur was lucky to avoid a trademark attack - known colloquially as a "head butt."
