Nam Khan (River Khan), Luang Prabang, Laos

The relationship to the one above is pretty clear - water, beauty,

This is one of my favorite places in one of my favorite countries. Laos is quiet , laid back and with really only two tourist attractions, The Plain of Jars and Luang Prabang. Luang Prabang is a World Heritage city in the center of northern Laos and it is set on a spit of land that borders two rivers, the River Khan and the Mekong.
The city is filled with beautiful temples and shrines. I loved to sit in one of the little restaurants set above the River Khan and watch the traffic on the river and the people crossing the bridges to the little villages that surround the city.

Cumbria UK (England) - somewhere along a roadside, you'll have to come over and explore to find out where

To get to Califonia from the UK it's a shorter trip to go through the Panama Canal if traveling by boat...

Here's a different perspective from up over the forest canopy to see the canal...

And wave to the people sipping their drinks in Acapulco, Mexico...

...then take a leap of faith.

Am I the only one who can't read the phrase "Around The World" without hearing that Daft Punk song in my head?

Taro Fields on Kauai

Awesome! I'm actually heading there on Saturday.

Do you know of any ancient sculptures or ruins there? I've done research but haven't found anything yet.
Im familiar with the Waimea canyon, the Napali Coast and the Princeville Light tower.
Would you have any other suggestions?

Edit: I love the photo as well

God I'm jealous. I've never left the US. Lol. (slaps self in head....) eventually I'll have time and $$ to go all over. This is kinda sad being excited to go to Florida when I see all these cool exotic places.

My suggestion to you is to go buy the book Kauai Revealed!!! Amazing book!! It never left myside!!!
We didn't visit any ruins....=( And I don't know of any. If you like hiking, there is plenty of it on the island!! Enjoy your trip!! If you have any more Q's PM me!! I would love to try to help. (GET THAT BOOK!!!)
