Vientiane is the capital of Laos but the city still seemed so small because we could bicycle to most of the places we wanted to visit. We lived literally beside a temple and 100 meters from the famous night market with the characteristic red tents. We found a shopping mall (the only shopping mall in Laos with air-con according to some website) the mall was in fact only 2 floors of which one of them only sold gold and jewellery (not sure if it was real gold). We asked for the price of a silver necklace and was told it costed over 1000$. The night market was much better and we could find cheap meals. We also rented a bicycle one of the days and visited a park, saw the Lao victory gate built like the French one, and a temple with more than 6000 thousand Buddha images. (We couldn't find that many). We also visited the national museum which gave us a overview of Laos' history in general.
