Rice wine? I would love some. It reminds me of my grandmother. She makes the greatest wine.

Yes,before lao communist governement,all the people of Laos lived peacefully but after LPDR taking power in Laos they practised hate and committed many crimes, specially towards Hmong people.Yes, Hmong protect Laos but LPDR leaders are losing Laos to Vietnam or China.

Are those Xijiang, Kweichow Miao very different from us Western Miao? I don't think their language can be understood by us cuz the words are too different even though it's same class language. These are the Miaos with the big ass horns.
