Hii Guys, here i want to tell You little about what i see and i feel in Vientiane, the venue of “2007 South-east and East Asia Leadership Courses For Young Leaders in Governance” on September 17st – 22nd 2007.
Since I put my feet at Wattai Air-Port I feel strange but happy and glad sure! It’s on night September 16st, 2007 at about 08.30 PM local time that same as local time in Jakarta (Indonesia). After passing the port-administration desk, then I doubt to where should I go. But the host from Hotel gets closer and smile to me and show my name as one those in waiting to pick-up to DON CHAN PALACE Hotel, where the participant from any counties in Asia should stay up to the end of mission. Aha…, I find the clue to my stay-life in Vientiane. Just follow the driver go along road in Vientiane city.
But then I see any nice scanari on the right side of the road. I saw a lot of people gather arround line of beach , I say. But then my college from Indonesia tell me that there is no ocean in the LAO country. So.. what is that if not the lines beach?
Aha I wonder!
That is the most-known Mekong River. It is like an ocean. So wide. Have there any people ever cross aside the river? Who knows???
Not long then, We came at the hotel. It was the Biggest and luxurious hotel in Vientiane. See Receptionist, and she gives me my room key. Aha…., this is my first day in Viaentiane (Lao PDR). Turn ON TV- CNN, lay my body on the bed, I know nothing.
When I wake up in the morning, I find letter from UNDP to take gather in conference room and take registering.
First day, second, thirth, fourth, fifth, and sixth day has over. All the subject of lesson have taken. And it is worthful, fruitful and unforgetable, more and more the facilitators and trainers and all the participant.
On September 23st 2007, all of participants get farewell in Wattai airport to their respective counties.
Daag………… Vientiane.
See You next!!!
