    As we approached the shore, we passed a group of kids bailing out this boat....pretty standard, i'm sure for anyone who knows boats ~ but for me...another reason to be nervous...: by lolo, Views[614]
         		 The view from the longtail boat, headed from Nakasang (mainland Laos) to Don Det.: by lolo, Views[510]
         		 Kids on bikes, swarming around Tara, Lindsay and I. I have NEVER seen kids smile at me the way they do in SE Asia. I love it.: by lolo, Views[502]
         		 These cows WERE my favourite, until I met the saucy one who stuck his tongue out at me.. These ones would come right up to the fence to look at you, and then turn away if you came near.: by lolo, Views[512]
         		 Naked as the day he was born and LOVING it. Most of the kids under 3 are starkers all the time.: by lolo, Views[2732]
     
    Well, really. What ELSE is there to do when you're chained up beside a restaurant all day???: by lolo, Views[614]
         		 Looking up from the boat that takes you to the river island, this is what you see. Just another typical lao village scene!!: by lolo, Views[525]
         		 Again, that waterfall. : by lolo, Views[528]
         		 another sunset bar scene....don det.: by lolo, Views[476]

         		 One of the oddball sculptures at the buddha park outside of Vientiane.: by lolo, Views[453]
         		 the National Culture Hall in Vientiane.: by lolo, Views[638]
         		 The piece de resistance of the buddha park ~ the massive reclining buddha.: by lolo, Views[443]
         		 Hiding inside the mouth of a demon, in the buddha park.: by lolo, Views[750]
     
    One of the most obvious dangers in Vientiane...the very real risk of falling into the sewer system. Ew.: by lolo, Views[437]
         		 Taken at a free exhibition of Lao traditional dance, put on at the Lao National Culture Hall.: by lolo, Views[514]
         		 Sunset over the Mekong river.: by lolo, Views[446]
         		 The French inspired, Lao garnished Patuxai (victory arch) in Vientiane.: by lolo, Views[785]
         		 Me in the tuktuk coming back from the very bizarre buddha park, some 32km outside of Vientiane.: by lolo, Views[452]
     
    An extremely fun night of disco bowling in Vientiane...with a great new group of people! Although, this photo only shows me...yoú'll have to trust the others were really there....: by lolo, Views[961]
         		 Me with Robin, an old friend from Vancouver I hadn't seen in probably 3 years..how odd to meet up in Laos of all places!: by lolo, Views[616]
         		 Disco seems to be the theme in Vientiane.....this double decker bus is the one I took to Pakse, complete with dinner, bottled water, a 'refreshing towel' (?) and on-board movie. Far cry from the transport in the north of the country!!!!: by lolo, Views[2601]
         		 A temple guardian stands watch over one of the many temples in Vientiane.: by lolo, Views[664]
         		 Another up-the-nose shot...which I feel captures the boredom of the long bus rides quite well. Feels like I spend half my time staring out a window like this....: by lolo, Views[462]
     
    The entire roster of passengers aboard the original VIP bus bound for Phonsavon, waiting by the side of the road after the breakdown.: by lolo, Views[535]
         		 Children hang about the bus terminals selling fresh french style baguettes to passengers, about 1000kip each.: by lolo, Views[480]
         		 One of the thousands of US inflicted bomb craters all over the country side in the NE of laos...usually with trees growing like crazy due to the water that accumulates in the crater...: by lolo, Views[488]
         		 More lovely kids...: by lolo, Views[426]
         		 I love the little guy on the bottom left of this shot. Every time he saw his face on the camera, he dissolved into giggles. Children really are the same everywhere...I remember James and Ryan reacting the same way to the digital camera!!!: by lolo, Views[461]
     
    Taken from the bus window en route to Xam Neua. A young girl hard at work....: by lolo, Views[495]
         		 While waiting for the bus to leave Phonsavon bound for Xam Neua, I noticed that the bus next to mine had a huge cage strapped to the back of it, with the cutest dog inside....don't wanna know his destiny..... You can tell by the frost on the windows how bitter cold it was in the mornings here...: by lolo, Views[497]
         		 Another shot from the early morning at the bus depot in Phonsavon. The man has a cart of steamed dumplings, and the girls are selling baguettes to the passengers through the bus window. : by lolo, Views[438]
         		 Now imagine about 100 of these jars scattered around. Really eery.: by lolo, Views[403]
         		 This little girl was one of my favourites...I know I'm not supposed to say that, but.... : by lolo, Views[543]
     
    A little blurry, as she's running to see all the newcomers arriving with the new 'rescue' bus. So cute...: by lolo, Views[419]
         		 Crossing a very rickety bamboo bridge, coming back from the 3rd site of Jars. I love the water buffalo behind me!: by lolo, Views[487]
         		 Another one of those shots that 'prove'I was there...this one, with a huge termite hill inadvertantly in the background as well.: by lolo, Views[416]
         		 Hanging out IN one of the jars. Getting out was a bit of a comedy show for anyone watching, I'm sure.: by lolo, Views[472]
         		 The Lao national flag and the hammer & sickle fly proudly together, in Vieng Xai. National day is Dec 02, and there are flags flying all over the place in preparation of the 30th anniversary of the Communist takeover.: by lolo, Views[1277]
     
    A little blurry. This is the rooster that I shared a bus with, from Vang Vieng to Phonsavon. When the bus broke down, he was brought outside, presumably for fresh air??: by lolo, Views[480]
         		 Taken while I was waiting for the guys to finish staring at the soviet tank. Dusty bumpy dirt roads led to all 3 Jar sites. (the guys, i had met up with on the bus into Phonsavon, and we split the cost of hiring the car and guide...a good day): by lolo, Views[458]
         		 Me at the first Plain of Jars site, outside of Phonsavon. Massive stone jars, of which we know so little. Pretty impressive. : by lolo, Views[656]
         		 In order to get to the 3rd, and most impressive Plain of Jars site (there are over a dozen sites, but only 3 are sufficiently cleared of UXO to be visited safely) you must walk through rice paddies and grazing water buffalo. Surreal for a city girl....: by lolo, Views[501]
         		 The remains of a wrecked Soviet tank. Support from the USSR for the fledgling communist regime in Laos was extensive. There used to be many more such wrecks, but most have been dismantled and the scrap metal used elsewhere.: by lolo, Views[601]
     
    Sauteed green veg...finally. I think there was even broccoli in there! This restaurant in Xam Neua had rat, deer, and sparrow on the menu. To the right of the place setting is the basket that the sticky rice comes in. : by lolo, Views[478]
         		 Officially my favourite place in Laos so far...Vieng Xai, where the caves of the Pathet Laos are found. Just gorgeous, and the locals were wonderful.: by lolo, Views[554]
         		 Along the way to the 3rd Jar site. : by lolo, Views[495]
         		 Another kid staring like mad!!: by lolo, Views[367]
         		 One of the villages off in the distance, where the little kids all swarmed in from!!: by lolo, Views[503]
