As I have been talking about earlier, Luang Prabang have a lot of Wats, or Temples where the monks live. Four o'clock every afternoon the monks gather by the wat's drum and perform a ceremony by playing the drums and cymbals in a rhythm I really can't explain. The drums you find at the buddhist wats are called "Ho-ko" or "Dharma Drum". They play only for a short time but every time I hear the ritual I feel exhilarated with spiritual energy. I guess it's because I'm a real fan of buddhism. What I have recently noticed is that they play the drums at 4 in the morning as well. Not as laud, and maybe not all wats, but when I went to bed last Saturday I could faintly hear the rhythm of the drum outside somewhere.
