I've always wanted to visit Laos. Vientiane looks like a nice city with interesting sights.
Nice Page of Vientiane, Thanks !!!
Great page with brilliant photos and tips!
I too am left handed. Is that as important as foot custom? I would like to see Laos some day. Do I need to start practising using my right hand? If I fail at that may I come anyway?
In Guyana South America it was also frowned on to kiss in public mainly among the Indian population. I grew up under these circumstances and today I still hesitate to show my feeling in public
Amazingly concise ! Wonderful local custom tips ! :-))
very interesting local customs section , really nicely done :)
It seems not to be a place for left-handed like myself, but loved your page still ;) Great local custom tips!!!
Really well done! Thank you! :-)
That bathroom reminds me of mostt bathrooms in Cuba only because theres no toilet paper,water,etc LOL
