The Lao Elephants new home ground in Vientiane, Lao

As you may be aware, the Vietnam Swans will kick off our 2010 campaign with a match against the stomping Lao Elephants in Vientiane on 20 March 2010.

Elephants’ Prez, Langas, has sent through the attached photo to give us an idea – and an appreciation – of the high standard of facilities that they enjoy over there.

Langas says,

Thanks to (last year’s)  SE Asian games, the facilities in Vientiane have improved – well, not so much for Lao Elephants training runs but true for potential games.  There’s a real possibility of not requiring a pre-match ‘emu bob’. Almost unheard of in SE Asia!

Just look at that surface…

Langas, we’ll give you the tip: it’s not ‘unheard of’ for the Swannies to be hearin’ the Elephants. Stomp, stomp, stomp!

PS Lao visas are available on arrival with USD 30 and 1 passport sized photograph.
