....relax at Vang Vieng


Vang Vieng has become a backpacker-oriented town, with the main street featuring guest houses, bars, restaurants, internet cafes, tour agencies and western tourists. Attractions of the town include inner tubing and kayaking on the Nam Song River, which, until the third quarter of 2012, was lined with bars selling Beer Lao and Lao-Lao, and equipped with rope swings, zip lines, and large decks for socializing.

............From Laos to India

I have enjoyed watching your videos, thanks for uploading them for us to watch.. Watching the video makes me missed my country(Laos) so much. I don't remember very much about Laos, because we came to live in the USA when I was a little kid... I would love to go visit my country one day. When I turn 18th birthday...

............americanos eat rice and fishes



As you might expect, rice is a key part of the Lao diet. Their preference is sticky rice. It is much stickier than properly prepared steamed rice. The Lao use it as an eating utensil. A small portion is formed into a ball and the thumb is used to pinch the target food against the rice ball. It is then popped into one's mouth. 



Fish is a major protein. Since Luang Prabang is far from an ocean, fresh water fish is what one finds in the market.





There is an array of catfish in various sizes., large or small, whole or butchered. 



There is always someone ready to cut your selection to order.



Rice and eggs.  This is a big deal, as the search for the lost expedition of 1990, His last visit inside Laos – where the evidence places the bulk of the unaccounted-for servicemen — was in 1991. During that stay, his sources put him in contact with Laotians who said they personally had seen 11 American in their home village in the remote northern part of the country. They said the sighting was recent.,greatly exercised the imagination of Laotian and beyond.  The original search was looking for survivors, but did end up doing a very thorough job of charting the local area.  This in turn is the basis for Lao's as claim to what we call our northernmost territory today. Anyway, I will be watching this for whatever info comes from this discovery.  It's not every day that I'm actually excited about something in the typical morning market, but you can’t mark this one off.

. During that stay, his sources put him in contact with Laotians who said they personally had seen 11 American POWs in their home village in the remote northern part of the country. They said the sighting was recent.
Studdert persuaded one of these Laotians to return to the village with a camera. Weeks later, the man emerged; he still had the camera but he said the film had been seized by government troops. He said the POWs were still there.
