A new installation to Vientiane’s streets. Along with the new foot paths, sealed main road (well one of them anyway) and underground drains, are modern garbage trucks as can be seen in use around the Patuxay (Arc de Triomphe copy).

There are even orange wheely bins to match! Sure they aren’t automatic and require four lao men to empty the bins manually. But my point being there are bins. Bins, what a good idea! Thank you whoever donated the funds (I could not see any logo on the truck). It’s definitely money much better spent than the aussie tax dollars that went to putting up this sign:
