more markets


Extensive markets in Vientiane; both a big &
sometimes strange mixture of things, & repeating patterns.



Very hot, mostly crowded, though not hassling. Vientiane is
still a small city. Easy to imagine how Laos was 100 years ago.
It used to take french officials longer to reach upcountry postings
than to sail from France to asia.
Vintage photo sites, asia, usa, & a great archive of sites.
