Gender specifics

The use of zebra crossings in Luang Prabang is apparently organised along gender lines.

It’s nice to see ladies light of foot and big of hair finally recognised as an important part of the pedestrian community.

Whilst I’m on municipal semiotics, I might as well post two more signs that pleased me.

I don’t need a warning sign to tell me to keep my distance from all things electrical and exposed in Laos. Nonetheless, I love the, shall we say, alarmist poetics of this figure’s descent.

Unless my information is out of date, the cool kids are still getting very excited about stencils. In Vientiane, even the council is hip to the stencil game.
