This photo was taken at Wat Sisaket one of the few remaining temples that survived the Viet Nam War. This in itself is not a small feat considering Laos was the most heavily bombed country in existence by both the American and Viet Cong armies. The U.S. Air Force alone carried out 580,000 missions against the country which breaks down to about one planeload of bombs dropped every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years! This is more than all of the bombs dropped during World War II - Vientiane, Laos
