Day +2642: Oversea Trip - Visiting Chao Anouvong Park

I am fine today.

We visited Chao Anouvong Park in the evening. The park is alongside the Mekong river. According to spontonlaos:

"In Chao Anouvong Park stands the majestic statue of King Anouvong. The park was named after the King and he is highly regarded amongst Laotians. The statue was constructed in 2010 during Vientiane’s 450th Anniversary to commemorate the King’s noble contribution to Vientiane during his reign.

Chao Anouvong was the last king of the Lao Kingdom of Vientiane. During his era, he struggled to fight against the Siamese invasion of Vientiane. In the end, he was unsuccessful and was captured and the Kingdom of Vientiane was forced to surrender to Siamese rule and ceased to exist. Because of his persistent attempts to defeat the Siamese forces, Chao Anouvong is considered a courageous hero who fought for Vientiane until his death. "

Lottery is common here as well

Day +2641: Oversea Trip - Kung's CafeLao

I am fine today.

We went for lunch at Kung's CafeLao. The cafe is no easy to locate. However, it maintains a facebook page here. The environment of this cafe is very unique. It makes customers feel that they are dining in the jungle :-)

Day +2640: Oversea Trip - Shopping in the market

I am fine today.

We learned some Lao. In order to test what we had learned, we went to shop in the market on the eleventh day of our trip (30 August) :-) And I believe we did complete "this mission" successfully :-)

Called something like "Yore" - it is like fresh luncheon meat. Eating with bread. Very delicious.
