Personal highlights
- Vieng Xai: arriving in the first city (or rather village) of Laos
- Vieng Xai Caves: built into beautiful limestone karst mountains
- Pathet Lao: former capital and quasi-birthplace of today's Laos
- Roadtrip: being trapped for a few days to repair my motorbike
- Forgotten: in sharp decline since the capital moved to Vientiane
