Our House in Laos

 In Laos, neighborhoods are considered villages. The villages even have village chiefs! If somebody does something wrong they go to the village chief before the police.
 At our house in Laos we have a bunch of fruit trees in our garden. There are mango trees, lime trees, guava trees, pomegranate trees (that are really tiny), kaffir lime trees, and more. You can see some of them in these photos:

moving to Laos!

my family's moving to Laos this year!

Laos is a low income country bordering Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Myanmar (Burma), and china. Some of it's city's are Vientiene, Phonsavon, Sam Neua, Phongsali, Luang Prabang the city were staying in, and many more. You can see on this map:


Me and Ella my sister are going to school in Laos. We are either going to a school were Lao kids learn in English in the morning. In the afternoon they learn the exact same thing in Lao. The foreign kids learn in English in the morning but in the afternoon they learn how to speak in Lao. Instead we are probably going to a French school where we learn French and also the Lao language. My dad is working at a children's hospital in Laos called Lao friends children's hospital. My mom does oil painting so she already has art studio witch is currently an office.
