Mar. 15, 2009 -- LUANG PRABANG, LAOS: A vendor sets out potatoes in the "morning market" in Luang Prabang. The morning market is primarily by local residents for groceries and daily needs. Most Laotians don't have refrigerators so the they shop daily for perishables. Luang Prabang is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the spiritual capital of Laos. There are dozens of "wats" or temples and thousands of monks in the city. It is still the center of Buddhist education in Laos. Photo by Jack Kurtz
