all about Laos

Hello everyone! How cold is it there? Its like plus 45 here and there is lots of pollution. If you walk out of your house there is a pile of garbage in the middle of the road! And you would be suprised how many people own a skooter or a motorbike because Laos is one of the poorest countrys in the world. you see some peoples houses and there little straw houses! Even though a few people are rich and way more poor, everyone is very nice. Everyone works here. 10 and up your out in the feilds working. I watched a show at Cope (A place where people who have lost legs or arms from bombs that the U.S.A left behind when they bombed here can get help) and little kids would go out in the jungle where they knew if they stepped on a bomb they would all get killed and went to find bombs for there casings and sell them to the illigle bomb collecters for money!! thats how poor they are that children would risk there lives to help here family!!

At the caves we went to (all temples) we looked at all the statues of Buddah and learned some things about the religion. And at the waterfall we went swimming and i got to jump of a tree into the water. Then today we went and climed mount fugie and there were 328 steps.

Well thats all for now
