The only things which move quickly in this town are the territorial dogs who spring to life when the sun goes down and chase anything.
There are remnants of French architecture; most properties are based on the traditional Chinese dwelling. The standard 20-foot width with deceptive depth, sometimes taking up a whole block. The town is laid out in a grid formation.
We enjoyed some Lao coffee at Lin's Cafe, took lunch at a French restaurant which made a change from the usual pho, and sticky rice offering. Being Saturday, the tourist office was closed. At Lin's Cafe, we were able to do some planning for the trip ahead. The owner of the cafe was honoured for his services to medical health, and given the building by the State on his retirement.
