Lao Students Playing Tujlub Playing Field

Hmong students in Vieng Xai playing a traditional game of tujlub, which involves spinning wooden tops hurled with string and sticks. While one top is still spinning, another person tries to hit it. If they don't hit it, they're out. If they do hit it, the winner is the one whose top continues spinning the longest. Their playing field is a rare flat section among steep karsts in the rugged terrain of the area.
