Lao people


I'd have liked to take more photos of the beautiful Lao people.
It feels so intrusive unless there's been some interaction.
In neighbouring Cambodia, the UN backed trials of some
Khmer Rouge officials were in progress . See the Big Picture



Last year I visited the museum in Cambodia that commemorates
those horrendous times, with rooms of photos of some
of the people the Pol Pot regime tortured & killed, in the same
building where some of those crimes took place, in the 70's.
A deeply effecting experience. As you can see, many were children.
