When America sneezes, Laos catches a cold!
When Laotians in America are out of
jobs,
Laotians in Laos are out of money!
What a recession in America! According to the U.S. Labor Dept., an unemployment rate climbed to 6% in November 2002. That is about 8.5
million Americans who are out of jobs. Big and small companies around the country have
shedded many jobs. For example in New England more

"...The
government does not want Lao people, especially Lao students, to
know about informations that are not beneficial & it might
be a danger to the peace & security of Lao people in Laos.
|
|
Therefore, the government has to filter & choose only
websites that are mostly appropriate for Lao people."

"Researching and Critiquing Internet Resources"
- Laos
Once
a lifetime someone wrote a story about our website. This one
was from a lady who wrote "Researching and Critiquing Internet Resources"
and she used VientianeTimes.com for her case study. Here is
what she has to say about our website:
The Webmaster has his own personal agenda, which is obvious through
most of the pages, but what I liked were the links to almost anything one
could possibly want on Laos... The picture of the Lao statues is there to
give you the feeling of a fight for democracy that the Webmaster is trying to sell to his viewers. The title at
the top of the main page announces that this site is "The Gateway to Democracy"! The
colors are subtle and the site on the whole is designed in a pretty sober
and simple way. more

"The Road of Life": Three ways for Lao girls
 |
|
I
could not finish the story. Too much
party! Anyway, I wrote it, but lack of punch; so I just
discarded it. Here is my theme that I tried to write.
There are 3 types of girls in Laos. 1st, wait for Lao-oversea boys;
2nd, work in factory; and 3rd, work at a
nightclub as a waitress or hooker.
|
|
That's it! By
the way, school
starts today. Very busy with changing
courses.

Music clip from Laos...
Well, well, well, my comrades... Finally I can listen to a clip from
Lao FM 103.7 Radio Viengchanh, Laos.
 |
|
Since I left our lovely Laos in 1999
for America to continue my education, I'm nostalgic when listening to this recorded clip
-- music, advertizing and voice.
If anyone wants to listen, please go to muanglao.com.

For now, enjoy my comrades...

The battle rages:
VientianeTimes.com vs. Lao Government
 |
|
The only thing the Lao Embassy wants us to do is to remove the Lao
insignia. That insignia on our website disturbs their big
leaders in Vientiane, especially Mr. Khamtay Siphandone.
If we don't, the Lao Govt will take us to court and we won't be able to
go back to Laos. more
