A couple of bus trips took us out Lao and into Vietnam. The Lao immigration office was a poor cement building, the Vietnam office and welcome arch large, expensive and a touch tacky.
Here's my final reflections on Lao:
1. The countryside, national parks and natural attractions are beautiful and unspoilt. This might be more to do with poor economic development, but for now there's lush forests, jagged limestone hills, and stunning waterfalls. Hopefully these things are protected.
2. The people in each town seem to have a different attitude, swinging from delightful to recalcitrant depending on the city.
3. There's not much in the cities.
4. The food is really, really plain.
5. Travelling in a developing country's let me see a different side of life, which I really appreciate.
