点评:I'm sure that COPE is doing valuable work, especially in helping people adapt to living with serious injuries. But, the visitor center was a disappointment to me and I'm really surprised that it is ranked #1 thing to do in Vientiane! The visitor center itself is very small and provides limited information. I think it's important for everyone to be exposed the misery that Laos people (and Cambodians) have had to contend with in relation to UXO, but the COPE visitor center fails to provide the full story of UXO and how the war unfolded. In addition, the information is not up-to-date with respect to techniques for identifying and diarming UXO, or all the support provided by the dozens of internationally supported organizations. I personally found the UXO Visitor Center in Luang Prabang to be far more interesting.
