Wandering Wat Ong Teu

Things are busy around Wat Ong Teu. Buildings to restore, offerings to assemble. Pictures to take.

The main temple. Don't let the fierce dragon railings take a bite out of you on your way in.

Quiet places, quiet moments. A monk's study desk and an event storage area.

Inside the main temple, a massive sitting Buddha. "I'm the largest Buddha sculpture in Vientiane!"

Rubble and improvement. Dragons in need of a face lift and stacks of concrete decorative pieces.

Flower power. Monks sitting on the floor, assembly line is on.

Nighttime In Vientiane

Darkness falls and fun stuff emerges at night in Vientiane.

Outdoor fashion show featuring little kids. They grow up quick in Laos.

Streetlight of nothing, the Mekon and Thailand in the background. Laughing it up for Coca-Cola.

Night market stall, a two dog operation.

Toys for the night, water buffalo and glowing princess.

Frog mascot, trying to get motivated for the crowd. Tough task.
