No mistaking you're in China

You can really appreciate the vast difference in wealth between Laos and China by just going across their border.

When you leave Laos, you get your passport stamped in a basic building with no bells or whistles. The type of building you would expect at a land border crossing. You get your documents stamped through a hole in the side of the building.

Then on the China side, the border office looks like an international airport - it was only missing the planes! It even had duty free shops!

Unfortunately, I can't post photos as I don't have them on my phone :-(
