On to Singapore!

      To finish that journey of the last two blogs, I did get to Singapore. At the border of Malaysia and Singapore all bus passengers disembarked and walked through the border customs. Once across the border we re-boarded the bus into downtown Singapore. That process, of leaving a bus, walking across the border and reboarding was familiar. 

   Having done that bus/boarder crossing frequently I was led me astray entering Laos. The bus from Thailand dropped us at the border of Laos. Assuming that the bus would meet us after customs I left my suitcase on the bus. When I turned around I saw the bus driving back to Thailand with my luggage. Now I was in Laos and my suitcase in the bus was retreating. Did I ever see my goods again? What would you do? Stay tuned for "the rest of the story."

Patuxai Monument, a war memorial, in Vientienne, Laos. When America gave Laos funds to strengthen their military they used the money to build this structure. There are stairs inside, which I climbed to the top for a nice view.
