Wow, that is great. A perfect Lao, even I can't. I left home when I was 7.
I speak Lao only when am with my Lao friends, family, and relatives. It is a must for me. I speak to my princess as well, she's learning very slowly.
I do, with every fiber in my body. And every waking hours I think of home. I know it has changed a lot but to me it will always be a part of me and always be home. If I was single, I would not be here another day. I would have taken mom back home.
I agree, find other ways not selling off Laos. Luang Prabang is a huge tourist attractions from what I've heard and read. It generated over $102 million annualy.
