Favorites (Vientiane)

Hello everyone!

I will be moving to Vientiane in early June and I am really excited. I was hoping for those of you that have been here for awhile if you could take some time and tell me what your favorite:

1. Bar(s)?
2. restaurant(s)?
3. Leisure Activity?
4. Non-Leisure Activity?
5. Favorite place to visit in South East Asia?

Feel free to answer 1 or all of my questions. If you have any other favorites you think I should know that would be great as well.

Cheers!
Brett
