When I think of Laos, I do not think of monks and temples, I think of people riding two-wheelers with an open umbrella in a hand.
Wherever you go in Luang Prabang, you see girls and women riding scooters, motorbikes, and bicycles with open umbrellas in hands. No matter what the weather, in sunny, rainy and cloudy days nobody wears a safety helmet while riding, but almost everybody has an open umbrella… Why? I don’t know. I guess it has become a chic item of the female “biker’s outfit” in Luang Prabang.
A mental picture of a girl on a scooter with an open umbrella in a hand had been imprinted in my head during five days stay in Luang Prabang, Laos. I have even coined a name for it – Lao Umbrella Girl. Like the little Morton Salt Umbrella Girl, the graphic representation of Lao Umbrella Girl on Scooter could be a perfect advertisement for the City of Luang Prabang ;)
