View From My Window

Currently I am staying with my friends Mark and Jo Loiterton (ex Beechworth residents and Mark taught at Galen with me).  Jo is now the Principal at V.I.S and doing an amazing job.

Their house is a spacious three bedroom, five bathroom mansion, with very western features - eg gas cook top and an oven, bathtubs and shower heads, hot and cold water at the kitchen sink. Luxury!!!

This is the view from my bedroom window.  

Barbed wire and spikes are a common site in Vientiane, especially in this area where there are embassies and a considerable ex pat community.
