As the sun rises hundreds of Monks line the streets of Luang Prabang, flocking from there temples to receive there daily meal. They walk along in a saffron laden line and the locals will give them gifts of food which is placed in the monks basket. The ceremony has been going on since the 14th century, it is a peaceful and spiritual experience to behold and it is a great insight into one of the Lao traditions.
I had seen this in the distance from the road a few times, so I finally decided to figure out how to get over to it, I though it looked like something from an Alien Movie, like a UFO communication device, especially at night when the red lights surrounding it give it a glowing look. It is really a radar dish with a weatherproofing sphere surrounding it.
