During a tour near Luang Prabang, we stopped in a small village consisting mostly of huts. Basically, it was a stop for buying souvenirs .. after finishing the tour of the small "shops", all the children of the village ran to our bus to greet us and to try to speak a bit in English.

Another shot from the jungle... a life away from civilization and comfort of modern technology. They don't look so desperate... It's surely not easy, but the atmosphere of the village is definitely more relaxed and calm of what you might find in any city.

In a remote village in the middle of the jungle, some kids are playing in a small stream of water passing nearby their huts.
