A polyglot, with eight years as an expat in Laos. When we came to Laos, we stopped at every landmark and statue we saw. We had hoped we could learn something about the country that was to be our short-term home, only to discover that there was very little information available in English. I read anything I could find, and listened to many locals tell tales to uncover the stories behind the statues, temples, and landmarks of Laos, and I am happy to be able to share them with you.

(Take heart, national projects to make information more accessible are currently underway.)
