Newest Review: ... a truck was more interesting than scary and my Chinese helpers were really sweet. Phongsali is a nice quiet town close too China. It's not one of the typical tourist places so there are seldom foreigners and one can feel that, not a big choice of accommodation and no public Internet.

Very pretty, kiyaking, a nice beach, great and convienient place to relax, mekong river dolphins!

Tartu
Pleasant streets and a good choice of bars, restaurants None that I can think of, being called Derpt for several centuries is bad enough!
