see what we have done to mother nature... a dry Mekong.
a local school
after about 5km of walking under the hot sun, we finally arrived at That Luang, said to be the holiest stupa in Laos built in 1566.
locals having a good time chatting and drinking at the cafe right below the monument
Anousavari Monument - A triumphal arch built in 1962 for the people who died in wars defending the country.
Lao coffeeVientiane, the capital city of Laos. it looked quite neat and easy to walk around. there is a huge morning market called Talat Sao. one can shop there the whole morning for anything that you want. i bought a water boiling tube for 10,000 kip (Sgd1.50) and some toiletries there.
the popular guest houses were mostly full by mid day so one has to spend some time scouting around. i noticed that most of the eating stalls charged a 3,000kip (sgd0.50) mark-up if you are not a local. there were also many chinese people who set up businesses in this capital city. u can find most of them in the chinatown street.
in Laos, one has to definitely try the Laos beer. sk and i loved it a lot. as for Lao coffee, it's quite strong and sweet but good enough for a morning starter.
