I had completely glossed over this location when going over the itinerary. It will be interesting to visit the largest city in Laos. A lot of the architecture looks very interesting as well. We won’t be able to explore the city for long, but I’m still looking forward to looking around and taking in the area. Vientiane is also right on the Thailand border. From what I can tell, it looks like it may be possible to actually see Thailand from parts of the city. This makes me wonder if there will be any clear culture differences from Vientiane and the other areas of Laos we will be visiting. Vientiane also is said to be very safe, as is the rest of Laos. I’m really excited to experience a culture that I’m admittedly unfamiliar with. Culture of the places we are visiting is definitely something I should read up on a little more.
