I'm quite fascinated with the whole area around the Plain of Jars and it has given me a big idea I must try and see if I can sell to some unsuspecting publisher.

It's a fascinating country, and I'm glad you made it to the jars. Jerry and I did a story in 2005 for Archaeology magazine about the UXO situation there, and archaeologists' efforts to have the jars listed as a World Heritage Site. (synopsis here: http://www.archaeology.org/0507/abstracts/laos.html). When we first visited the jars in 1998, we were told the three main sites had been cleared of UXO. Not true! Didn't happen until 2005, and even now, those three popular sites are the only (among 60 or so) to have been cleared. That story led the two of us to our wider, long-term project to document UXO across the country. Ed,

I'd have love to have caught up. The jars themselves are stunning but not as much as the modern story surrounding the area. I'd never really heard of it and am too young to have (also English) to know what was going on. When I was in Vietnam last year the whole story became relevant and a friend lent me The Ravens. We visited the offices of, MAD (I think)near Craters. I didn't realise people were still being blown up and it is difficult to find much from guides with badly broken English. Which project are you working with? Hi Karen,

Would you happen to be in Phonsavanh? When I'm not eating and writing about eating, my husband and I are doing much more sobering journalistic work. We're in the midst of a large project on UXO in Laos. As I'm sure you know, the situation is horrible and people are still blown up every week. Many of those deaths go unreported, as they occur in rural areas far from hospitals. Jerry had a slideshow at the Angkor Photo Festival in November, and he'll have another showing at Le Popil Gallery in Phnom Penh, Feb. 16-19. Have a look at our website, www.redcoates.net, for details. Enjoy your travels. Can't wait to hear more about what you find. Ed, Where are you staying in Laos? Would you happen to be in Phonsavanh?

No grenades but I am now in Laos and our hotel was kind enough to have plenty of unexploded ordinance in the dining room.
