In Luang Prabang the city was "en fête" ...

Festejando o Ano Novo budista...




Sobre a expedição francesa ao Mekong em 1867, sob o comando de Doudart de Lagrée:

For much of their time in Luang Prabang the city was "en fête". With the heavy rains of the wet season close at hand, the population seized the remaining dry nights as an opportunity for dancing and gossip. 

(Milton Osborne, Mekong, Brisbane, 2000)
