Before going into the field near Xipon to use our bomb detecting equipment, we visited the place in Vientiane where prosthetic limbs are made and fitted for Laotian people crippled by bombs they encountered some 40 years after they were dropped.
It's sad to say it, but the place has plenty of customers.
I wont show you pictures of the people we met there, but will try to share some of the good that is being done to help them recover and function physically after their injuries have healed.
My best souvenir from Laos so far? A receipt for a prosthetic leg; $75. Don't be jealous, you can get one too online at'
