| Plain of Jars, site 1 |
|
|
| It's interesting to notice that there are trenches, bomb craters and metal pieces around the site, since the "Secret War" of Lao. |
|
|
|
| Nobody really knows what they were for |
|
|
| The first studies concluded to these being funeral urns |
|
|
| Some believe they were used to store food |
|
|
| Legends say they had been made a race of giants, who wanted to celebrate a victory |
|
|
| They of course needed a lot of "Lao Lao", a local rice wine (quite strong) |
|
|
| Obviously these jars were used to make the drinks for the celebration :) |

|
| Houses are very variable, and sometimes next to each other are old wooden cabins and modern concrete villas. |
