Laos is a small country in the middle of Indochina. The population is 4 millions.
It has no sea and most of the territory is mountains. The people are more modest and
polite than any other southeast Asians. Although you can't expect enough entertainment in
this country, you would be greatly satisfied to touch their warm-heart and feel like staying
longer.
