Laos is a COUNTRY: 1999

Stories of a backpacking addict

Subject: Geography Lesson

Hello people. I am in Vientiane (VienChan on some maps) but I just
checked my mail this morning and it seems to me QUITE
a few people on this list thinks I am in VIETNAM. I AM
NOT!!! I am in Laos.. COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COUNTRY..
Lao is inbetween Vietnam and Thailand with it’s
northern border shared by China and it’s southern
border shared with Cambodia. Duh… I know it’s not
very important little country in the scheme of
International trade, CNN doesn’t even lists the
temperature of this place on their world weather
report, but hey I like it here. And well I am here. So
em.. Laos Laos Laos. Not Vietnam.. Okey dokey??

Loads of love..
