    What is it with all the 18 year olds in Vientiane?

    Having been in Vientiane for a couple of weeks, the main question I have is "What is it with all the eighteen year olds?"

    It seems like every girl of eighteen from the entire country has descended on the city trying to get one of those 100 USD / month jobs.

    Seems every place falang eating place and every massage place is stocked solely with these girls. Am I wrong? What happened to their predecessors?

    I dare say it's more Vientiane flooded by teenagers lying about their age working in service industry.

    you're saying a lot of these eighteen-year-olds aren't even eighteen?

    is a woman of twenty-two too old and retiring back to the village?

    most are mingers, wouldn't touch them

    yes Laos is booming, it's Thailand 20 years ago, and expats are moving there very fast

    business is good, and there is no nasty mafia, at least not yet.

    That would surely be an older version...days gone by.

    Franco influence and reference is nearly null and void throughout what was once called "French Indochina" - Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam.

    How naive are you? Like a little white snowflake who just fell from the sky.

    I guess the warlords and there powerful region-wide networks are just the imagination of some guy in a suit and stuffy office in some bland looking building in Washington DC, eh?

    As part of Laos acceptance into the WTO the government has banned old slappers from the city centre in a bid to make downtown more aestheticly pleasing to the eye,

    It is quite likely that ladies are moving to Vientiane as a last stepping stone to Thailand. With the minimum wage policy here there is high demand for people from neighbouring countries to work in restaurants, factories, massage parlours, and just about anywhere, who are willing to work for less that ThB 300 per day.

    On our last visit to Phuket the waitresses at our favourite restaurant had all been replaced by Burmese girls, most of whom barely spoke any Thai.
    I see fish. They are everywhere. They don't know they are fish.

    It's simple anthropology. The pretty ones come to Vientiane to work in the aforementioned jobs, the ugly ones are indentured in sweat shops in the suburbs making your 200 baht Lacoste polos for $5 a day
