Description: |
|
Pass by a two meter tall, 3,000 pound bomb that stands as a
pillar to Salavanh Province’s past at the entrance to the UXO
Lao Office compound. Lao holds the unfortunate title as the most
densely bombed country on earth, with Salavanh ranked second in
provincial barrages during the Indochina War, and its UXO
(unexploded ordinances) office displays the evidence. Two large
bombshells stand astride the flag pole at the front door, and
racks of inert bomb, a mortar, cluster bomb casings and an
airplane Gatlin gun line the front walls. The entrance holds a
surreal collection of clumsy looking but deadly assortment of
homemade devices, miniature rockets, and land mines.
Location: Salavanh District’s main road between the Visitor
Information Centre and the bus station. |
