vientiane, asia's biggest village is really a strange place. on the main boulevard you find the presidential palace and an arc de triomf replica. but there are also a number of dilapilated buildings, all in a state of disrepair. strange for the main street of your capital city.

look closely at the photograph and youll see a tiny strip of brown mekong water, with thailand on the other side.
