The annual Vientiane International School Christmas party was this Sunday afternoon. Anytime there is an event in Laos, you can be sure to see food, food, and more food. The Social Committee did a wonderful job finding a venu that both adults and kiddos would like. Before the official fesitivies started, I chatted with colleagues over Beer Lao, spirits, and boxed wine!

Spring rolls, salad, corn, beef, stir fry, rice, vegetables, chocolates, cake, etc...etc...etc...
