mic and I were dragged into the bank by a strong swimmer to the last bar on the river... Notive the 'Special Menu' bottom right... but we only had enough money for 3 beers by then, so no specials for us

Vientiane, Laos

Its a typical shrine, or stupa as it is know, in Laos in which the buddha is painted in golden color.

The sky was perfectly blue, but I desaturated it to focus on the stupa.
