Scooters Go On The Roof

So how many scooters can fit on the roof of a bus in Laos? A lot. I thought the person I was traveling with was kidding when he told me that they carried, literally, everything on top of some of the buses in Laos, including live animals. But, after riding on one of the buses, I realized it was true. They also stop at every door that is willing to pay them and pick up anything that moves, or doesn’t move, as long as it will fit in or on the bus. Need a birthday cake delivered to grandma in the next village? No problem. I even saw some things wrapped in plastic being placed on the roof that looked an awful lot like it might be a human cadaver
