I have questions that I would like answered
19^th Mar, 2011 at 8:39am

I have a few questions that I would liked answered (Anyone is welcome to answer these questions):

1) When the old timers refer to the younger generation as 'mor nee' or 'mor nun', is it 'safe' to speak of our elders as 'mor nee' or 'mor nun'?

What exactly does 'mor' translate to?

2) Why does 'paa-daek' smell the way it does?
What gives it it's distinct stench?

3) Why do Lao people (women) love to gossip?
Why is gossiping the national sport in the Lao PDR?

4) What does dog taste like? (It would be preferred if this question is answered by people who tasted dog, in Laos).

This is only for starters. More to come as soon as I can think of decent questions to ask. Grin

1) No, it is not safe to speak of olders as "mor nee" or "mor nun".

2) It's fish that has been left out for months, so obviously it will smell bad.

3) It's just the way Lao people are, as long as I don't hear it then it's fine.

4) I've never tasted dog, nor do I want to try, so no comment.

It's just a way of referring to someone, but a more polite term than calling them "buck nun".

No, I usually don't have time to gossip.

Alright, I have a few more random questions:

1) How does one go about acquiring a harem of mistresses?
Where can one find a squaw more than willing to to be 'the-other' woman?
Is this practice 'ordinary' in Laos?

2) In Laos do they still chop up marijuana and sprinkle it in their dishes with the rest of the other 'vegetables'?

3) How is public affection veiwed by locals?
Does the conservative approached still hold true in the contemporary timeline?

4) What is the REAL reason behind Laos's Poverty?

5) What colour underwear are you wearing?

Stay tuned. More questions to come. Grin

Please have some respect. Other people new to the forum, may read your post and believe that they are typical of other members. If it offends them they may go elsewhere.

I recommended this site on my Facebook page. I have over 100 Lao friends here in the US, Laos and abroad. Stop embarrassing me and yourself.

It seems you want to forgo our truce we had the other day. Am I wrong here mate? If you actually paid attention 'Willy', you would have noticesd that the Admin' has NO problem answering most of my questions (as long as they're not too personal). Maybe that last question is one of the more unconventional that I have posted. Aside for these slight transgressions, all is good.

People actually eat dogs in Laos, 'Willy'.
I have heard of people lacing marijuana with food too, 'Willy'.
I'm not fabricating anything here nor am I coating Laos with a glossy varnish of some sort. What you see is what you get. TELL HIM ADMIN'!

You know nothing about Lao culture 'Willy'! Grin

I do know that you seem to be the your own people's worse enemy. You have NOTHING positive to say about Laos, it's people or it's customs. At least I am trying to embrace it, savor it, and experience it.

The world is not perfect, Laos is not perfect, but that does not give you the privilege of dishonoring their heritage, culture or pass judgement on them.

Yes, by birth you are MORE LAO than I, but by action and word you are less. You need to grow up. I wish that you would go back to your other Asian forum, or did they spank you there also and boot you to the curb.

People like you disgust me. You sit there in your plush lifestyle and belittle others who, don't have it as good as you. Maybe they don't, but maybe they are happy just the same.

My daughter-in-law told my wife the other day, Bill isn't Lao on the outside, but he is Lao inside. That is one of the highest complements I can get from Laotian. Just because you are Lao on the outside, doesn't mean that you have their best interest at heart.

Thank you William for telling Larb Dip what he reserved!

Larb Dip, you are just like a Banana. Yellow on the out side and White in the inside. If you are dislike your heritage..why are you bother joint this forum. I taught my children to respect other, specially the elder! regardless of their skin. I do blamed your parent for not teaching you about our culture. Beside,How do you have so much time in your hand to write on most of the post? Do you work? or do you in the welfare system?

I am VERY proud of my heritagre and culture! That's why I ask about the underbelly, the sht that no-one wants to discuss in the light. What are you so ashamed of Tee? That's what being proud is all about: having no shame! Is this not 'Laopride.com' or what?

Why you gotta bring my parents into this? Why can't you just vent your anger towards me?
I was raised right and know the lao customs. What 'elders'?

Why do you keep asking the same redundant questions? Why don't you sift through the back-topics if you REALLY want to know how i get time to 'write on most of the post'. The circumstances haven't nor will they ever! If you can even read, that is.
