Great thread Scamp.
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.

"I'm an outsider by choice, but not truly. It's the unpleasantness of the system that keeps me out. I'd rather be in, in a good system. That's where my discontent comes from: being forced to choose to stay outside.
My advice: Just keep movin' straight ahead. Every now and then you find yourself in a different place."

Why don't you use the TD gallery? that photo bucket one is dead slooooow on dial up, can have 3 beers in between each photo load.
^ I can't, I'm thick.
Very funny Scampi.
That falling man in the sky is like a signature...hilarious.
Great stuff Scamp. Some nice picture tweaking going on there. Keep it coming.
^ 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?
Stroller, please use your spellcheck, that should be COCK in whine.
Nice photoshopping part at the french restaurant.
and the Terry 57 in the store is very subtle!
At least I have 1. Good try but no cigar, COCK.
Err, but you did.Originally Posted by The Gentleman Scamp
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.Originally Posted by gusG
^^ Yes but you hung up on me so it doesn't count as a call.
Cheers, yes I removed the phone cable that cut through the skyline - how could you tell? ..I thought that was flawless.Originally Posted by Fabian
You were yacking on for 15 mins & 46 seconds!Originally Posted by The Gentleman Scamp
^ Bollocks, I was on the highway on the way to annoy Michael Clarke Duncan and we chatted for about five mins, hang on i'll tell you exactly.
*gets phone*
Four minutes twelve seconds, put that in your crappy home brew and drink it.
Not according to the call record on my phone.Originally Posted by The Gentleman Scamp
Whereas this posting conversation has taken over 19 minutes...so far.
^ 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.
OK, I give up! Whose phone number is that?
^^ What happened? The picture was replaced?
That's Scampy looking into a hole in the ground that the lovely colonial building just disappeared into
Wrong one, sorry here it is.
