Laos- Vientianne

It was my second time to celebrate TET- the Vietnamese new year
and after spending it in Hanoi for the first year, I am determined
not to do it anymore.The city literary becomes a ghost town
and for a single soul like me, it is a bad idea to do it again.
So, here i am going with my sister and her colleague to Laos.

Aside from the fact that Hanoi is cold this time. We haven't seen
the sun in over a month now. So, here we are, all packed and ready
in search of the sun.

Much to my disappointment, there was no sun when we arrived in Vientianne.
It was so quiet, we were wondering where we ended up.
Since we couldn't check in since it's still early, we decided to walk
around and look for a place to have breakfast.

First of all, we have to start with money and the guide.







The tower near the Mekong river.


Resting for awhile before going out. It is a backpackers Inn but it is good.


Indian cuisine for dinner- first day.


The statue of King Anouvong near the Mekong River.


The Nagas or seven headed snake, an important part of the Mekong history.





The Museum



In front....

Inside...hundreds of Buddhas.

And the ladies.......











And the gentlemen..







and monks...
