    This is what I remembered about Vientiene six years ago, the nucleus for me - which is the fountain. I don't know the history of it but who cares, it looks nice and is all nice and quiet and sunday. It is rumored that Butterfly owns a building near here but I don't know how true those rumours are.



    This is a shot taken in one of the malls in Vientiene, somewhat different to Siam Paragon and that other place.



    Back to the fountain, there is a Scandinavian bakery and a French restaurant and other nice sunday town stuff surrounding it. This is the French restaurant which I will visit later when it gets dark and my tummy starts to rumble.

    ^ Your soapdish was one of the most difficult, getting the perspective right without having to call Mtd.

    It was COTTO before, I needed a one word member name to replace it and your was the first that came to mind, consider it a tribute.

    Nice thread, so what about the Cocque au Vin at the French place.
    Did you ask for a basket of Freedom Fries to go with it?

    No, I think it explained why on one of the beams, maybe you missed it.

    The Scampster is the COCK (au Heineken), I just wanted to know about the food, since I won't get in without pretending to be Dutch or Danish.

    ^^ Yes but you hung up on me so it doesn't count as a call.

    ^ You must have forgotten to press the red button after the call, it was finished by the second tollgate - anyway moving on...

    There are many nice colonial buildings in the vincinity of the fountain, well - in Vientiene in general I suppose. Here's one of them, still intact as the day it was made unlike in Britain where people get off on defacing stuff.
