One of them is a beauty of the nature. Unlike Bangkok, Vientiane still has much nature, though it is a capital, especially along with Mekong River. In addition to the nature, there are parks and bars that allow us to enjoy the view with confortable environment or with some cocktails.
Even though the country is regarded as a developing country, the puvlick transport is well organized. Therefore, if you want to go to rural area, it is easy to get there with cheap public bus.
For example, there is a wonderful place named Vang-Vieng. It takes 6 hours from the capital, by bus. The place is famous for the glorious view of nature. The buses usually go to the rural town, and then you can take local tuk-tuk (bike taxi) to go to any place you want to go. Thus you can go to wherever you want to go without international car lisence.

Vang Vieng by GedsmanThe greatest thing you can see in Laos, however, is not the nature or transportation but people there. People in Laos are all kind and warm. Even in the market, you rarely see people who try to grab your bag or ask for money. Even though you are stranger in the country, people help you to travel comfortablly; some people help to stop tuk-tuk for us, or some people teach the beautiful place you had better go.
These are reasons why the country is now popular to travel around. Why don't you start thinking about going there and meet beautiful nature and people?

Wow this is a very specific and very far-and-away post from where we are now. Wonder what was the specific impetus that led you to mention this Laos thing?
返信削除Your blog post suggests an intriguing area for digital storytelling. That is creating digital travel logs. With the technology currently available, it is possible for one to appear as adventurous travel writer without ever leaving home.
返信削除The images and sites you've linked to are good examples of the sorts of materials available for such projects.
In terms of the specifics of the midterm practical activity, I don't see that you've provided attribution links for CC licensed photos from Flickr (in fact the bus stop image is a copyright image not CC). Also, several of your outbound links are not to blogs.

返信削除Thank you for the comment.
I really LOVE Laos since I went and biult a school there as a volunteer work in 2007. I think many people have visited near countries from Laos, such as Thailand or Vietnam, but a few people have been to Laos. This is why I wanted to present Laos in this Blog.
>Scott,
返信削除What I did for posting Flickr photo was to copy html link address, and to paste it to the html editing in Blogger. and I though travel blogs are included in blog.
