A taste of me in my native tongue... I took my first breath of life in the city of During the course of my life In random places...from random faces I've been asked the following questions so many times... What & Where is Laos 101 I love these beautiful proud women of Laos! "What are you?" I am Laotian...I am Lao Loom They are also Laotians, representing: Lao Suoong...............Lao Loom..............Lao Turrng "Where are you from?" I am from Laos, the Land of Lanxang a.k.a. the Land of Million Elephants Here's an elephant in Laos...I love elephants! "Where is Laos?" Southeast Asia "Where exactly is that...Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia...?" No, No, No...Laos is Laos. "Oh, so it's a country? Yes, Laos is a landlocked & landlinked country... smack dabbed in the middle boardering Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma, and China "Oh, so, are you mixed?" Nope...Lao-Lao by blood and Lao-American by naturalization I am here because of these twoLovebirds "What is your name?" Ketsana "Last name?" Vilaylack "What kind of name is that?...sounds like Polish, Russian, Czech?" Whaaaa....?...... It's a Laotian name and I am Laotian... Kahn Souphanousinphone is also Laotian...
