I take my new roommates (Corey and Amy, also American teachers abroad) on a long bike ride to Xieng Khuan, colloquially known as Buddha Park. We take in the sculptures, climb inside and on top of tall structures and debate the feasibility of a similar attraction for other religions with surprising outcomes. 

Amy, Corey and I made a pit stop at the BeerLao factory on our way our of Vientiane.

Amy poses by one of the sculptures in the park.
