Moving on, this is the border crossing from Vietnam to Laos. It just opened to foreigners in about March of 2007, but seems to be working fairly trouble free. We spent about 1 hour or a little more here, mostly on the Laos side as they checked all the cargo being carried by the bus and processed all the paperwork for the passengers. This bus was not overstuffed like the previous one, but there were no empty seats.
