Didn't you want to study abroad?

I read somewhere - on here, or one of it's sister 'sites - qualifications in Laos aren't internationally recognised. Outside of Laos, that means that peice of paper with your name stamped on the dotted line, is just that: paper.

Did I just blow the flame out of your emigration aspirations?

Are your 'connections' a part of your plan? Or are you banking on a prince charming to come along and save you from your misery? Are you planning on leaving as a trophy wife? It sounds like it. There's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it makes perfect sense now: you enigmatically remaining a bachelorette - is that your portrait, by the way? - looking the way you do! Did I just crack your plan?

I was right all along:

You ARE banking on a betrothal, nang.

The two universities that I had attended, I knew many foreign students that came from Vietnam, Nigeria and South Korea and they all got full scholarships, research assistant or teaching assistant and the universiities pay them monthly stipends to fully cover tuitions, living expenses and books/supplies.  I do not think their home countries paid them anything to come over to the US.   

LIke I said previously I hope more and more Lao students will get these opportunities, like students from other countries, to come to the US for higher education (almost free) becuase the US-Laos relation is getting better as we are speaking .

Hey Miss Admins,

Do they still sell ice cream with sticky rice?  I remembered when I was little boy living in Laos they had ice cream and sticky rice in a same bowl.  It was delicious way before you were born lolz.....just wondering 

What's that dessert called, the one where a chunk of banana is encased in sticky rice? I think they use flax as the wrapping.
