September 29th, Nils' birthday party couldn't be celebrated anywhere better than in Kuta, Bali's infamous party capital filled with drunk Australian youngsters drinking and surfing 24/7.

Crossing the border was pretty easy but full of scams as we were told the Lao visa price is based on your nationality and involved some stamping fees.
