LAO - VIENTIANE LA COMPROMISEMême si elle se rapproche du million dhabitants, Vientiane a encore les allures dune bourgade à côte des mégapoles des pays voisins telles que Bangkok ou Ho-Chi-Minh Ville. Cela nempêche pas la capitale laotienne de rêver du même destin. La culture ancestrale du Laos, étroitement liée au culte bouddhique, se veut sans vains désirs ni ambitions démesurées. Aujourdhui, la rupture est totale et Vientiane en est lillustration. La croissance exponentielle du pays est principalement due aux investissements étrangers, avec en première ligne la Chine, qui viennent puiser dans les nombreuses ressources naturelles du pays, notamment dans les secteurs miniers, forestiers et hydroélectriques.Ainsi, avec la mondialisation qui entraine luniformisation des modes de vie et ces nouvelles richesses qui sont créées, les habitants de la capitale aspirent à un nouveau destin.

It is on the peaceful and picturesque island of Cheng Chau in the heart of the Hong Kong archipelago that we find Louis To alias "Sugarman". An internationally renowned painter and sculptor, Louis made an astonishing reconversion ten years ago. He wanted to revive a six centuries old Chinese tradition that he had been exposed to during his childhood: handcrafted puffed candy. Thus, after several months of work and experimentation, Louis embarked on a new art form. Like a sculptor, using high quality sugar imported from Germany as his material, he creates small, bright and colourful figurines of fantastic chimeras. "Making sweets is not my job, I'm still an artist. They are like sculptures, you can keep them for at least ten years.». His small shop where he designs his impressive sweets under the astonished eyes of children and parents has become a major attraction on Cheng Chau Island. Nicknamed "Sugarman" by all, he now enjoys a more popular reputation of which he is proud. "As a c
