VIP - I think not!

I thought this was an unusual display in a bus stop along the way from Luang Prabang to Vientiane.

This is the VIP bus but the VIP factor eludes me.

I took the VIP bus from Luang Prabang to Vientiane expecting a little more than I got. Happily I did sleep a fair amount on the overnight ride and I am glad I paid the extra money to step up from the "local" bus. For the first time in my bus travels in Asia we arrived earlier than scheduled and so I was out on the street at 6 AM looking for guesthouse. Vientiane, which is French for sandalwood city, awaits my exploration.
