Katie and I came up with thist list while waiting for... our train, a cab, bus? It's a list of things we learnt while traveling around Laos.
-Kopchai means thank you. Kopchai lailai means thank you very much.
-Sabaidee means hello. Everyone says this to each other.
-Laos P.D.R = Laos: Please. Don't. Rush.
-Lao lu: field dwellers
Lao camu: midland
Lao mu: mountain dewllers
-There are 4 different tribes in Laos.
-The people in the tribes are a mix of all different Asian countries.
-There is no common language due to this. The most commonly spoken one is Lao-lum.
-BeerLao is the native beer. It's mascot is a tiger. It is good and cheaper than water in many places.
-Oh my God in Laos = Oh my Buddha
- Vietnam = friendly neighbour.
Thailand = boundary issues (espescially with the border).
-Fish- a lot of bones when eating it.
-The Mekong River is a brownish/orange. It is not blue.
-Sai = left, hao = right, bai = forward, tui = backwards (at least this is with elephants).
-Few cars, almost everyone drives motorcycles.
