The Quiet Capital and the Taste of Rain

On day five in Vientiane, Noy navigates the rhythm of the wet season, from the steam of a morning noodle stall to the sudden hush of an afternoon downpour. She finds a favourite café for her paperwork, watches the city prepare for a table tennis tournament, and reflects on the art of getting things done slowly in the Lao capital. ☕ Enjoying the show?
