laos- vientiene

the capital of vientiene with its population of 200,000 (wiki), was a budding metropolitan rushing toward modernization. there was a four story mall like laan xaan to brag about to tourists and the monasteries were filled to their capacity with tourists from all over the world. since laos opened its doors to the world in the early 2000's (wiki), the city has become a tourist favorite due to its mix of culture and inexpensive nature. nestled along the main strip which leads to patuxi, the victory gate, are java cafes and western shops.
