Reading this made me realize how fascinating Laos’ history and geography are. I used to only know it as a landlocked country, but I didn’t know its location and terrain shaped centuries of politics, economy, and culture. The most shocking part for me was learning that the U.S. dropped over 2 million tons of bombs there during the Vietnam War—absolutely insane.
Thanks for sharing this, Alix. I had the exact same feeling when I was researching the topic. It’s one thing to know the term 'landlocked,' but it’s another to see its profound impact. That bombing fact is precisely why I felt this story needed to be told. So glad it resonated with you.:)
It really hits differently when you see the real-life consequences behind a term. Your story gave me a lot to reflect on, and I appreciate you sharing it. Truly powerful.
I went when I was 19. Very special place. Was welcomed in by a family run B&B at 3am. They woke up and let us sleep in the waiting area until morning. Such kind people. ❤️ 🇱🇦
What a beautiful memory! It's those unexpected moments of kindness that make a trip truly unforgettable. Thank you so much for sharing your heartwarming story. ❤️
