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 :-(
