Vientiane update, and Sihanoukville trip report
Sicily by train, a book for every state, manhole covers of Japan, and more travel reads.
Hello from Vientiane! I am back from my rail travels and I am now sorting through my photos and notes that will end up in three different articles about rail travel in Laos. I plan to post those in the next month as I think that the sooner you can get here the better. It is a unique moment in time to be here with so few tourists, especially with the Laos-China border closed.
