According to our local tour guide:
* Over sixty percent of Lao ppl believe in Buddhism who are pacifists by nature.
* Most of their ancestors were from the Yunnan province of China long time ago escaping wars.
* They had founded the country of a million elephants, which was later divided by into three kingdom, then became part of the French protecting territory.
* Eventually, part of the kingdom was taken over by Siam/Thailand.
The Laotians do look like the minority ppl I saw in Yunnan and yes they are really friendly and peaceful !!! I really enjoy my stay here in Laos, a country that has not yet been invaded by MacDonald, KFC, etc !!!!!
Gotta go !!!

但好快這淨土就會被國際連鎖店進侵了,
只要有機會霸佔市場,
任何地方都唔會放過，
這是她們一向的做法!

>> .... 被國際連鎖店進侵
I only have a few secs ...
I will feel really sad if this UN-designated World Heritage Site/City is being invaded by chain stores and foreign franchise :(
I hope making money is not the ONLY sign of progress.

我估計推動globalization如此快速的主因不是文化交流和種族和平,
而是金錢利益 和經濟掠奪!

That is why we need NGOs that are not profit-driven and have no conflict of interest with the private sector. At the least they should be making its own independent decision and policies even if they are receiving some funding from the govts and the private sector.
