As we all know, the continued defiance on the part of North Korea not only irritates Washington but also Beijing. I don't think China is very content with a nuclear armed Korea. Nonetheless, whatever the People's Republic does or decides to do, Laos will be cheering on the sideline without objection whatsoever. In fact, it is a good thing that Laos forges closer relations with China; otherwise, Laos will be swallowed by Thailand and Vietnam. The People's Republic can keep check and balance in Laos. The only innocent players in Laos are S Koreans and Japanese.

Here is Thida Sittixay for you if you like Laotian beauty. I wish I could rewind the time and lived in Laos now. My half-sisters and brothers have a nice homes living a good life. They are quite wealthy and they want me to move to Laos. I keep in touch with them through facebook. My real mom lives in France.  When I see their living standard and their way of life, I feel pity for myself.  I am over here living in the United States of America, but in no way I can compare the quality of life I have to theirs.
