It was interesting to see the multi-lingual signage, such as this Post Office at a little village. I was very struck by the amount of advertising being given to mobile phones (3G when this was taken). I should add that the coverage (with my phone) was surprisingly good everywhere we went, despite the mountainous terrain.

Huts in the Laos village of Kiokacham (spelling is variable). A traditional hut in the foreground, behind is a more recent build, from the Russian period following the SE Asian war, identifiable by its concrete block construction. Also evident is the satellite dish, as far as I could gather also from the Russian period and used for communications.
