French Influence

There is only so much rice one can eat, similar to my feeling about kebabs after three months. So when visiting the former French colonial cities of Luang Prabang and Vientiane I splashed out on French Restaurants and wine. I now realize I really do miss the finer points of life!

As in the Portuguese and British colonial buildings in India, the architecture of the French colonial buildings in Laos gave you an insight into a period of recent history. I could imagine the lifestyle as a French land owner over 60 years ago in Luang Prabang.
