    I am really glad the kids parents are doing well. I am certain that you and Nenee have had a part to play in that. You are giving the family hope and support and that has a flow on effect to the community.

    Nice one Todd. Good to see Mina's parents and to know that although they are not earning much, at least they are doing something to help themselves and earn a meagre living. The little fellow is growing quickly and always so happy to see his big sister and both of you. Mina s so sweet with him, playing the "big sister" role and showing him the sights. God bless all of you, always. 😀❤🙏

    Those night markets never cease to amaze us. So impressive. Let's hope that the visa comes through for Mina. Todd, What do think your chances for getting the visa for Mina?
    Be Well you guys 🙏👍🙏 Jim and Harriet

      if the food is cooked and the vendor’s stall is busy the food should be fine. i am careful about raw or leafy vegetables. iced beer lao is wonderful. baguettes and pastries are a delicious french legacy. if you happen to fall ill the french clinic in downtown vte and the international clinic behind the honda dealership near wattay airport are both good.

    Laos is a beautiful country, it's sad that they don't take pride into preservation and development of the country itself in it's traditions and culture even more. The government corruption and greedy has ruin it's own self and became a sell out. Sad to hear that they are letting chinese coming into the country to develop and milk that crap out of their raw material resources. Some people still today don't even have a country to call their own a home. I hope they wake up.
