Photos of Laos Vientiane International Airport Terminal!
Saw this photo, you must have thought that little beauty Laos airport, right? However, I have to tell you: This is the world's most beautiful airport!
I can tell you her "beauty" where they are.
One writer wrote a book, "Tiny is beauty" (a small is beautiful)! On the airport in Laos, I count as a real taste of what it means! However, besides a taste of Laos "little beauty", is also a taste of Laos "good of America"!
January 21, 18:10 pm the aircraft took off from the afternoon to return to Vietnam of about 1 hour, we arrived at the airport, boarding pass at Vientiane. Staff to take our turn to a private passport turned to look at (the other one because of the public passport holders visa-free), and finally asked: "Are you Vietnamese?" The answer is of course not! It's strange that he asked, clearly passport read, "The People's Republic of China" passport, can not read Chinese, at least know about "China", right? Also asked how such a question! He found a look at Vietnam visa, the staff energetically looked at stamped "USED" of the stamp, with fluent English does not ask us: "OK?" Ah! Finished! Suddenly remembered, returned to Vietnam from Laos, Vietnam also need to apply for entry visa! We come to Laos from the Yue Lai only remember to do before the entry of Laos signed forgot to return to Vietnam need a visa to Vietnam! How to do? Come to mind immediately landing sign. However, the answer is "NO".
"That's How can we do?"
Time is bad look at the two points went to the 17:00 work time, and not half an hour away from boarding the aircraft around, according to common sense, just enough to handle the projected security and exit procedures!
"Go back to your hotel and get visa tomorrow" is a service to our answer.
That how take them? Vietnam tomorrow, there are indeed true. "Can you think of a way to help us?"
At this time, service passport, walked next to a hand holding a walkie-talkie that looks like a leading man, handed him the passport, did not understand with our Lao with what he said a few words. I was also next to the Central, he took the opportunity to think of ways to help us, but actually my mind is no longer what is the hope. He looked at me, look at the watch face some difficulties, but still pulled out a cell phone to find a number to fight the past, one, say I am familiar with the Vietnamese, he was somewhat hard at work to the Vietnamese Embassy visa office of the visa officer to explain our situation. I immediately fluent Vietnamese side chime in, and he immediately with the caller said, "She's a good speaking Vietnamese, and she to tell you Well." I immediately grabbed the phone, the first sentence is "Hello, I am with you a lot of people are familiar with the Vietnamese Foreign Ministry ......"( Haha, that these words are not my style, but at the moment, too busy to think of those a!) and then hastened to explain to him a visa forgot something. Have not heard, I say a few words, the person robbed in the past, said: "Well, now listen to me, do you have with a ticket from Hanoi to return to Beijing? 45 U.S. dollars there?" I hasten to say there, no problem! The other materials that you are ready to fight car quickly come to the embassy visa office outside of the bell by Jiaoren I give you open the door! "Okay, okay!" Thank God! Did not expect such a short period of time went so far as it can be done a visa! This is simply not conceivable that Beijing! Leaving aside the fact may have to wait days to get, that is, immediately take to the road so far is too late to catch the last呀!
However, I went to where to find a taxi then? Time so tight! At this time, next to the young man holding a walkie-talkie then fed a passport to us and asked us what we have car? I said to send us the car has left (by the way thanks to our stay in Laos, one of the few four-star hotel Leuxay Hotel female boss, she was responsible for shuttle guests to send us the driver came too late to catch up on the airport situation, person driving your own handlebar send us to the airport). He let us hasten with him to the airport to the door, a look at the whole that is empty, where there any taxi! Then take walkie-talkie, he called a staff member brought us to a room, so that we paid 14 dollars, and then took us out into the intersection, when we see a car already there waiting for the. Is too late to ask what, even the luggage and another one to remain in service passports are readily check card has just given us a place, but also are not telling to help take care of, directly on the taxi, the driver said one simple sentence, "Please send we went to the Vietnamese Embassy Visa Office, "will be grateful, but an uneasy attendant went. Do not know how far, how long it takes, can it be too late? To remain at the airport, passports and luggage will not be a problem?
We could see the driver tried to hurry, but reluctantly caught up with the rush hours, days, are heavy rain, have been usually see a few more cars in Vientiane, this time, not knowing from where to gush so much a wide range of car, with the long queue at the traffic lights junction row is lazily waiting indicator variable ...... this time to slow up and read a description of Laos ago, saying that Laos is not traffic lights, I can only curse by compiled a pack of lies! If I did not traffic lights may be enough. Seeing the time of one minute one minute to the past, have been approaching 17:30 am, and do not know how far the road? ! I had to pray while quietly yesterday Bai Guo Lao Buddha bless me, and while think: If you go back and pulled off after going to a good publicity Laos, the Lao People's thanks! In particular, after work who would like to thank the Vietnamese embassy is also waiting for us visa officer! ---- I would like to have the opportunity to go back to the Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs must be in front of a good comrades praised commend him.
Seeing no hope of a wait, the driver meet us up with the straight stomping, then to a junction, the front Yi Bai, into an alley and then around the other end out of even row of the queue has just crossed the intersection! After a few minutes left, turn right the car finally stopped in a courtyard next to a door closed. The driver told us to, and pointing to us next to the door. This is the Vietnamese Embassy in Laos visa office, right? I was looking for the name of an umbrella 4 bell when the door suddenly opened automatically! We had no time to think about on the red in. ......
17:45 am, we rushed out from the visa office on the outside waiting for a taxi. Immediately felt that the driver of simple gratitude, if we are still here, he himself is gone, then we can really call every day, not working! Or he brief us on this one, let us out of how much money, or do not give us back to the airport, it is estimated that we have no alternative but to listen to the from which the. However, the good driver not only failed to make any demands, but also to see us so nervous, but also take the initiative to say "I WILL SPEED FOR YOU!" (I will for you in a hurry), I think, at that time, this is what I heard the most accurate, most beautiful of the English! Over the past few days have been thinking: the Lao people have to right away, including Vietnamese and other foreign languages, including English, how could not be said that this will hinder their development. However, even at this point the driver would use "SPEED" this so timely, then the exact words! I have lamented the wisdom of the Lao people are left to the knife's edge!
Next, we experience the performances of the driver gave us his driving skills and knowledge of skilled road, terrain grasp the depth of ......
When the taxi stopped at the airport gate, when the hall clock displayed on the entire time is 18:00!
Rushed to the counter (no need to queue, because the hall has no other visitors), immediately it was received passports, had been set aside to help onto the luggage to the shipment, and then quickly fed to us to check-in rows and another of the passport. Until this point, has been hanging heart, finally able to come down!
Can not help but sigh: It was a miracle! ! Laos! Who Laos pace was slow, inefficient! ?
1 minute later, we came to the friendly face of exit prosecutor, he smiled and greeted us in Chinese, and asked where we went to visit a hotel, and so live. Less than 2 minutes, we passed the border and security.
Lounge where people are queuing up boarding gate is the above photo ...... the scene ---- not very light and spacious hall, but certainly was the best scenario, the most wonderful memories!
I can not help but sigh: Miya, Laos! Praise, the Vietnamese embassy visa officer in the old and in Lebanon ---- First Secretary (LE TRUNG HOA)!
In doing so, I would also like to thank the first time to meet, but did not visit, but a temporary appointment within the scheme, but it gave me and my peers the most enthusiastic, thoughtful arrangements for the reception and the Lao National Academy of Social Sciences of the politics of Khamphone Bounnady Mr. Cheung, as well as assistant to the president Linthong Phetsavan Lao CASS President, Foreign Affairs Bureau of female Secretary, Office Director and other colleagues Laos Academy of Social Sciences, in particular, is extremely proficient in Chinese language only Mr. Science! You give us the enthusiasm and friendship for life I will bear in mind!

the chinese guyz traveled to Hanoi from Laos he wrote a blog to thank you Lao people especially the policemen and officers who helped him at the Wattai airport. Chinese guyz didnt have a return visa to Hanoi so he couldn't pass the immigration checking. he asked the Laotian officers at the airport how to do, so the police officers helped him by calling vietnamese embassy in vientiane and made a date to make a quick visa. i think that the policemen know someone who make a visa in the embassy and also the chinese guys thank for taxi driver in Laos who was very kind and helped him when he was in Rush.
