So my buddies Christoph and Julius, with whom I went to school in Germany, are travelling around southeast asia for the next few months! They're actually in Thailand now- they got in last week- and we're planning on meeting up in Laos next weekend.
Laos is one of five remaining communist countries and borders Thailand to the East. It was formerly a french protectorate, which isn't surprising when you hear the name of its capital, Vientiane. Here's Laos:
We'll be meeting in Luang Prabang (which, according to wikipedia, means "Royal Buddha Image (in the Dispelling Fear mudra)"). Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and well known for its many temples and monasteries
