Backpack Laos
Laos has to be at the top of the list for countries. The people are friendly, weather is good (so it rained a bit) and there are a mountain of things to do. I don't think you can get more relaxed than here.
I'm such a goddamn hero...
Plain of Jars, Xieng Khuang Province, Laos
There are literally buried bombs here
Phuong Village, Xieng Khuang Province, Laos
One area that is missed by many is the Plain of Jars. An area occupied by all these old stone jars, simply amazing.

Another thing you notice is how bombed the country is. People are afraid to dig into the ground and everywhere you look there are these craters from the early 1970s.

(Note the use of shell casings above and the line of craters from left to right in the right photo)

Beautiful scenery

...there is no moral to the story, it's just a bunch of stuff that happened...
