Rugged, laid back, simplistic Laos

As the plane was landing in Vientiane, all I could see was green patches, the Mekong River and muddy roads. I knew I would love Laos.
It is rugged, simplistic and its people continue living in ignorance of your presence. And then they greet you "Sabai Dee".
I can eat a French loaf with vache qui rit here.
I love Laos.
