HITCH-HIKING LAO



Watching tropical landscape roll by from the back of a pick up. A pleasure for a hitch-hiker worldwide.




Folks in Pak Lay play an old game inherited from the French, called "petanque". And they are really serious about it. The picture is taken in the back garden of the Bureau of Finnances. Not much accountancy to do around here it seems.
 



The mist and the road on the early morning.



A road builder smiles when photographed with his work on the back. The bridge may have been borned in the board of an engineer, but it's still the road builders' work.


Tradition and change.



Peasents process and pack corn by the roadside.


Curious type of oil pump widespread in Lao countryside.



Rural workers wait to be called for their shifts atop an old  Hino truck.
