Mission,

BH appears to be going well of course, but was there anything notable reported?

As we surmised here weeks ago, it is Phonsavan that really has everyone interested. Another Phu Kham? well when the company asks this, and it is not noted for excess hype, I have to say I will be watching that space very closely.

Anyway good to have someone else break the silence.

Russians? It's Asians. Europeans can look to the durabilty of the architecture and even to some extent that of land tenure on a multi-century timescale. Asians look to the gold, as the despots have come and gone, and the buildings mostly decayed. Ask an Indonesian about paper money, the Rupiah gets an abrupt 1 for 5 value adjustment every decade or so, and the concrete rots just about as fast.
