A Sleepy Town

The night bus to Phonsavan was hard.  Windy roads, over filled bus and blaring music is not conducive to sleep.  Once I checked into my room I went straight to bed.  I intended only to nap a short time but it was 3pm when I woke up.  Not enough time to see the Plain of Jars.  There are a lot of bomb remnants - Unexploded Oridinance - UXO - scattered around town and kept as show pieces for shops and the like.


MAG, Mine Advisory Group, is just one of a handful of NGO's that are helping to clear the UXO in Laos.  The gent at the Phonsavan MAG Visitor Center was very informative and friendly to chat to.
