Buddah Park, Vientene, Laos...

Got heaps of money to splash around? Why NOT build an enormous park filled with images of Hindu and Buddist characters and charge admittion to any sucker willing to catch the bus an hour out of town to visit? Actually, it was a smashing day, we had so much fun taking stupid photos with things. A huge laugh. Thought I'd share a couple with you... and of course it was highly sacreligious to climb all over these things, we prefer (in the immortal words of homor j. simpson) the term "sacrelicious"... I particularlly like the photo of the hell mouth, which is an actual physical mouth!




Awww, who would suspect these two girls of trouble? Especially in the company of a giant reclining buddah!









Me and the overview of Buddah Park. Taken from the top of the giant call that is supposed to represent the underworld. it's where you go after you enter the hell mouth. very odd!

Anyway, I'm heading off in a few days to the south of Laos. Only about ten days left on our visa before we have to head to Cambodia, so we're going to make the most of it by visiting some coffee country and the islands down south.

Love you guys,
