Pitiful selection at Vientiane Airport Duty Free but a close examination of the lower shelves found a litre bottle of Pale Dry Sherry - Osborne is better known for its Ports but given the price, 8 bucks, it was irresistible!

Or combine the two at Vientiane International - 6 beers and about as many darts in a smidge under an hour. That was fucking awesome.Playboy wrote:Speak for yourself, us normal people are usually killing time in the bar or smoking rooms at that point

McGettigans Irish bar in DXB is great, because you can still smoke in there...not many airports left with smoking bars nowadays.
