Welcome to the Plain of Jars

The legends say that these huge stone jars in Laos were drinking vessels belonging to a race of giants.  There are nearly a hundred of these sites, each having as few as one jar, or sometimes hundreds, scattered about the plains like plastic cups on the floor of a general admission area after the final act leaves the stage.  Perhaps that's exactly what they are, the remains of a race of strange beings that visited to see something magnificent occur, and left when the lights came up.  

If it were not for all the unexploded ordinance that still litters many of these sites, we could all explore there freely, like ants, dreaming of the giants' afterparty and sifting their dregs for nourishment.
