So I spent the last day here in Laos walking around the capital, Vientiane. It is by far the least developed capital I have ever visited. But it has a nice character to it. I visited more temples than I can count today, and loved all of them. While I am sad to see the trip end, I am happy to head home to Changsha.
The most interesting place I went was Laos' version of the Arc de Triumph. It was built from concrete donated by the US for a new runway... thus it has earned the nickname The vertical runway.
