Park Lay bridge finally finished across the Mekong River. It seems to have very low clearence on the ends, maybe why the ferries are still standing by.

Madam Dao's (the Laos coffee magnet)

Must be handy to attract coffee to yourself - could work wonders for me in the morning, but would be a problem late at night :. No wonder she's wealthy! Another autocorrect gem?
Some great pictures here. Must schedule a ride there next year.

" Must be handy to attract coffee to yourself "

Well, she's certainly attracted money to herself there 'oldbloke'!
Such indulgence.

I understand these pieces of old military stuff was put on display for symbolic and political reasons... but as it ages, seems to me it's becoming artistic.
