Commuting in Viang-Vieng, Laos

I spent the afternoon exploring the local neighborhoods of Viang Vieng Laos and came across these young monks 'commuting'.  The little town lie between Vientiane and Luang Prabang, making it an excellent overnight stop.  The town was centered around backpackers, so you had to dig quite deep to get to the 'real' village.  I found it across the river; where kids played and father's worked; a wonderful place for a photowalk.
