Everything in Laos closes at 11:30 by law. All residents, temporary and permanent, are meant to be at their "registered location" by midnight. However, just like anywhere else in the world, where there is a will there is a way.
For late-night revelers in Luang Prabang, that will leads one to the bowling alley. Nope, it's not a bar with a clever name - it's a bowling alley, complete with shoes (that no one wears) and state of the art electronic score keeping and ball returns.
While I am only an average bowler at home, in a Southeast Asian alley populated mostly by nationalities that were not raised on bowling birthday parties and did not have to turn to the sport for entertainment as minors not allowed at the bars, I was pure brilliance - "el dudarino" in the flesh (for those Big Lebowski fans).
I think I'll stay here a while.

What? You didn't go to the Viet Nam Bar? The hippest, happenest, longest place openest, in all of Lao. When does it close? When the Police shut it down or when the last customer leaves - whichever is first!
Where the hell is the bowling alley in Luang Prabang?
