A Portuguese colony they were better off than Spore in the 60's but declined after independence in 70's due to protracted civil wars.
One of the poorest in Africa where you can find people peddling second socks and underwear at US 1 a piece in the market and little kids selling plastic bags, similar to NTUC @ US0.20/pce.

Fresh seafood aplenty and one can get them cheaper than the socks at the beach in the morning.
No skyscraper mostly colonial style buildings and you'll be surprised to find many roads named after Chinese leaders like Mao Tse Tung, Chou En Lai...and many others. Now I am not sure how much they have progress.

They treat Chinese like how Sinkies treat Angmo. Chinese is their saviour in rebuilding the infrastructure after the civil wars ended in the 90's.
Nice place to visit if you have the patience waiting for the waiter to return with the ketchup he went out to purchase.

Wow thanks for the short post on this country. Sounds very interesting to me. I like these old style undeveloped places. Will go read more.

Notice condoms, lubricants and hong-yew, VICKS, Mopiko muscle oil together. What has these two things for to do with each other I wonder?

Too much HDR. Tone it down a bit so it looks natural.

Yup I knew about it and am trying different software like photomatix which works with adobe Lightroom

All HDR software does the same thing. The trick is to tweak the parameters so that you enhance the detail without making it obvious that the image went through HDR processing. :wink:

Try Topaz adjust.

I normally post food photos here so for a change I post the staff at this restaurant. Food in Krua Makmai is always great just that I have not posted the service staff before so here you go (its a little dark and I was a little pissed from the half bottle Hennessy so please don't mind the lousy photo quality)

If you guys prefer more of these pics over food please let me know.
