Loved it!

Yes I have been to Laos and I must say I absolutely loved it! The people must be among the friendliest people on this planet and the scenery is perfect paradise (without a coast).
I went in 2002 and there were barely any tourists since the country had just recently opened its gates to tourism. Fantastic! I had traveled to Vietnam first where my high expectations were not met, I found a country with an established tourist trail everybody followed and it was hard to leave that trail. So I decided to cross into Laos and I found paradise. Even the beer was great!!!

jonas says on Jun 4, 2008, 12:29: Yes, some of the old folks still know French there. The food is great, too. The Americans dropped more than 2mio tons of bombs on Laos during the war. More than anywhere else. I do not recommend to Americans to go there. They are a communist country. Don´t even come close. Great place! Mi alma se la dejo al diablo 0 funny, 0 helpful.
