UGLY TRUTH Luang Prabang Alms Ceremony

[@souphaksonepharma]

Dear Kara and Nate, as a local from Luangrprabang, I thank you for your video to shed light on this matter. Personally I am very ashamed that a once beautiful and peaceful tradition has been spoiled by tourists who do not respect our culture. Furthermore, my grandmother no longer goes alms giving anymore, you were in front of her house on the main road and know why. As you mentioned it's like in Angkor Way, everyone want their perfect picture. Tourists who also want to take part in the act are also aren't taught any better. Tourism is our 2nd biggest income earner, and as the country has launched Visit Laos Year 2018, I know your intentions in making this video is well and good, and not meant to defame us or discourage other tourists from visiting the country. I hope that more people can understand more. The authorities are doing their best to address this matter so not only we want to attract more tourists, but can also maintain our traditions. I hope you had a great time traveling in Laos nonetheless and hope that you come back again.

[@billymadisonsshampoo8223]

That's so cool u seen ur grandma's house! Also, if one wanted to go enjoy the ceremony, how do they do it respectfully?

[@hunsbergermatt]

@@billymadisonsshampoo8223 just don't be rude and take a picture that is not hinderence to others

[@jtveg]

Traditions aren't worthy of being maintained simply because they are traditions. Religious ones (some in particular are better left in history). Traditions change and monks bludging food off tourists is probably better than them bludging it off the locals.

[@brianafongvongsa2307]

@@jtveg Locals will sell to tourists so they have food for offerings. It is still the locals food and effort. I also believe that some traditions and religious traditions that are beneficial to good karma and enlightenment should be maintained.

[@jtveg]

@@brianafongvongsa2307 Good "karma"? There is no such thing as karma in the way you probably mean it. There is no invisible universal force to balance out good and evil or that meets out justice. It is a human construct and anything can be framed as either "good" or "bad" karma. If you think about it "karma" is a horrendous worldview. It says that a baby with leukaemia "deserves" it because it did something bad in a previous life. Disgusting. ☹️

[@googles1515]

I love how the two of you are so respectful of locals and their traditions. Whenever I traveled I always tried to follow along with the traditions as I was always worried about being disrespectful by mistake. Tourists can be rude and neglectful.

I hate it when people are disrespectful. its stupid tourist getting up that close. I would have told them to go away. I don't care if I was a monk or not.

You both have such patience for things like that. I would not allow that at all. Sorry I am ranting.

We've started watching all your videos from the beginning and were fairly confident that you were Christians so it was nice to hear you say that out loud. We appreciate the respect that you show to the locals wherever you are. God's love definitely shines through you and your kindness.

[@alyssasofield501]

You know what I love about these vlogs...it’s not all the cool places y’all go or awesome food y’all eat (although that is a highlight) it’s that you guys are such a joy to watch! Honestly, it was so evident even in the first video that there was something different about you guys. I’ve grown up in the South in church and people are always like “I can see Jesus in them.” and more often than not, I haven’t seen much evidence. However, just the way you guys interact with each other and the people around you is awesome and the absolute joy and compassion that emanates out of Kara makes me want to be her best friend lol:) Keep doing what you guys are doing!

Not as a Buddhist, but as a person, thank you two for not adding to the problem, as well as adding a different light/angle to being tourists/visitors, while also trying to appreciate the culture of where you're traveling to! This is why I enjoy you both, even though I just recently found ya'll (within the last 9 months or so), and started seriously watching ya'll within the last month, when I want to binge watch travel videos/vlogs.

'Just going to walk the streets''...love the way you guys clearly plan a lot then at times go totally random and unplanned. Genius!

[@vanyamarabringas6679]

I felt Kara's sadness when other tourists were rude during the ceremony. 1-2 pictures of them is good enough or stay on the other road side to take pictures. We should respect every religion ceremony wherever country you will go. Thank you Kara and Nate for this video, visitors will be aware of this in case they will go there.

[@harvcol.l.c.1351]

yall are very respectful and that's a reason I like yall so much and enjoy watching

[@swampflower626]

That is so sweet! Nate bought the birds and kara freed them ♥️♥️

[@Oggiwara1]

Pretzels have been in Norway and other European countries for hundreds of years and are the symbol of every bakery, even if they don't make them. They sell very good around Constitution day and mid summer eve, when they are eaten with sour cream porridge. Good to see young americans like you respect the local tradition.

[@sabrinagabriele1841]

My childhood best friend/neighbors were from Loas, we lived in a small town in NC. I would occasionally get to try some of their foods and see their traditions.

[@michellesimmons465]

Thank you for bringing light to the issues with Alms. I agree with Kara. You don't have to be from the same religion to be disgusted by people degrading a scared tradition from another religion.

[@kennethcampbell7263]

Kara and Nate, As a Christian to me the fact that it annoys you shows you to be good Christians, I say that because I agree with you, and though you admit to being a respectful part of the problem, you respectfully filmed it. I couldn't be a Buddhist because like you Kara I would slap ether the phone ot even worse the face of the photographer that were taking pictures as tourist while I was trying to get my food for the day. I expect you have worked this out by now. the spot is from filming into the sun.

I agree with the comments below. However, I highly doubt that any of the tourists are purposely trying to be rude. Rather, they're either completely thoughtless, or else figure that the shot is more important than anything, including the feelings of those they're photographing.

[@stephaniegruenberg7044]

Also think it's funny how Nate always points out how "excited" Kara is about steps... I actually really do like steps! I look at it as bonus exercise. 😊

[@tompatompsson]

@Hailey Hedland There are numerous unreliable accounts regarding the origin of pretzels, as well as the origin of the name; most assume that they have Christian backgrounds and were invented by European monks.[2] According to legend, as cited by several sources, including The History of Science and Technology, by Bryan Bunch and Alexander Hellemans, in 610 AD "... [a]n Italian monk invents pretzels as a reward to children who learn their prayers. He calls the strips of baked dough, folded to resemble arms crossing the chest, 'pretiola' ('little reward[s]')".[3][4][5][6] Another source locates the invention in a monastery in southern France.[2][7][8] In Germany, there are stories that pretzels were the invention of desperate bakers held hostage by local dignitaries.[9] Food historian William Woys Weaver (only) traces the origin of the pretzel to Celtic harvest knots and the worship of the Celtic goddess Sirona;[10][11] however this association does not appear in any of the other rare mentions of this goddess.

[@PlanesTrainsEverything]

There's nothing wrong with travelling and witnessing local cultures and traditions, but you must respect people and their way of life. They are not there for your entertainment. This isn't Disneyland. This is people living out their daily lives and beliefs. Kara and Nate did the right thing - stand back, show respect and walk away with memories and videos of rude tourists. While travelling, you must have seen 'no photography' signs, and the number of tourists who blatantly ignore these requests. I loved the releasing of the birds. That's something I would do. Very informative video guys.

[@stephenworthington-white8294]

Been to both places and ruining the alms with disrespect is way worse super sad. I had to walk away when I witnessed it. Great video guys.

[@dullipper]

Two years on you might know this by now, but the pretzel sign that the Scandinavian bakery used is just a sign that is commonly used as a bakery sign in Scandinavia (at least in Denmark it is). I don't think I've ever seen pretzels in those bakeries. But there are so many other delicious breads and pastries in our bakeries. So if you find yourselves in Scandinavia look for the pretzel signs for a guaranteed treat. 😉🥐🍰

You shouldn't buy those birds and "free" them...they will continue to catch birds when they see they can make money with it...its a vicious circle.

[@BusinessAnalyzer]

Alms Ceremony There are many facets to this. Traditionally the food would need to be prepared by the alms givers or purchased from the market, not from the food vendors. Even in Thailand there are vendors selling food that they prepared and packaged. When my wife and I presented alms at Luang Prabang, we went to the market first to pick up sticky rice and fruit. The locals are found on the side streets. There will be more givers on "auspicious" days. I could not explain them all. My wife and I get a calendar from our temple that lists all the "Buddha" days. Another side of this: My wife and I spoke with some of the workers at the guesthouses. Many of they boys started as monks as they would get excellent English education at temple. They would later leave the monastery and enter into business or international school. Lastly having the city put under the UNESCO program has increased the "problem". There is no right or wrong here, the ceremonies and traditions will need to find a way to co-exist with tourists that want to capture the moment. If you want to go very authentic, find some Laotian hosts that can put you up in a village outside of LP and go through all the steps to prepare and present your alms. Cheers! Andrew

[@robmccormick8155]

[@stargazergirl22]

Thank you for being respectful and observing from a distance. Why are the birds in cages? Do they catch birds just so people can release them again? Seems almost as ugly a truth as the tourists being disrespectful.

I will say this, you two are awesome, you work hard , you tell it like it is, but you keep your cool, on the other side of the spectrum, if a city doesnt want tourists to take photos, they need signs , and the tourism department to tell them , before they come there, it is natural to want to take photos, of things you do not see everyday, but at the same token, you need to be very aware of what you are doing, and the possibility of making someone feel uncomfortable, guess it kinda works both ways, tourism isnt perfect, so just know before you go!

I just checked and found that pretzels are German in origin. Scandinavian food would be Swedish pancakes (very thin), boysenberries, Swedish meatballs, kroppkakor, pepparkakor, the last 2 being desserts. Then, there are some weird things which are eaten only by locals, like fermented shark in Iceland, and lutfisk (cod preserved in lye) in Norway and Sweden. I'm not very familiar with Danish food, and many times Finland isn't considered part of Scandinavia, mainly because their language isn't related to the others. On the whole, it's really good food.

[@RidingElevators]

I'm so confused about the birds that you guys released. Do they catch new birds every day for people to release? Is there some significance to it? My wife and I want to know, and thank you for shedding light on the alms giving. I have heard of it before, but didn't realize that reality of it.

[@JPGoesGlobal]

Good for you not abusing the experience. I'm iffy about whether or not I want to even go to this when I make it to Luang Prabang. Tourism: you got love it, even if sometimes it means you love to hate it... Did you see the monk throwing away some of the alms?

Anthony Bourdain (RIP) and Mark Weins certainly couldn't have cared less about being respectful to the Monks. They got there "money shot" and moved on. Until Kara and Nate gave us the ugly truth l would have been completely oblivious to the situation and would have had no idea that its just a tourist thing and no actual Lao people partake in this "parade of Monks". You guys should be applauded for doing your research and respectful of the culture. As l said above, seen this on other travel shows/ vloggers but had no idea of the real truth.
