Unpacking!

I've been busy traveling a bit and have finally started my New Year with a new job in Northern Thailand.

I came across this photo yesterday when it dropped out of one of the few remaining books I still carry around. It was taken when I had to do a visa run into Laos about six years ago and crossed over into the capital Vientiane.

I told the driver of a beater taxi with the noxious carbon monoxide cloud, both outside and inside the vehicle, to take me to the center of town. And that he did. Above is the roundabout that is the center of town.
