@thesenuts586 I think many people share the same feelings you do and I once had the same feelings. I realize the situation is communist but to be honest I don't feel much of the govt presence in my daily life. I felt like I had to keep constantly watch my back in the US but with the people here e...

@Aviatortothesea I completely understand how you feel in search of a "better" life. My parents did not understand why I would want to move back to Laos.

@kengeelee my aunt has handed over the business to her son where he has setup his shop in the DongDok area. The store/house is now a little mini-mart but temporarily closed because she is visiting my parents in the US. Thank you for the comments.

@duckiesonquack Congrats to you and your husband! The challenges of raising a child is going to be a handful but I'm sure you're well prepared. As you and I know growing up in America and trying to find/keep our identity is very challenging with limited resources to our culture. But, you've manag...

@melisacollins77 Thank You Melisa. I grew up in the Bible belt of Oklahoma where I had no Lao friends to speak with either. Don't be discouraged, splurred Lao and/or Lao mixed with English is still something to be proud of. I'm trying to encourage my siblings to do the same and not be shy with th...

@Aviatortothesea Thanks for commenting. My decision to move back to Laos is a lengthy reason but in short, is because I fell in love with the country and people on my first visit. It made me realize that no matter how much I fit in the US my comfort level has never been the same as when I am in L...

@Aviatortothesea Yes, non Lao citizens including you and I. This is regulated when someone reports the couples going in and out of hotels or if the girl reports it herself. Then the guy usually has to pay a fine.

@phetlao Thanks for commenting. I'm not sure which aspect of dating in Laos you are curious about. If you are curious about levels such as casual dating then, yes, many people date casually. I think many people would be surprised about the openness unlike the days of old. Although we are becoming...
