If you have 10 aces in Texas you can grow and raise your own food for fun. if you have time. In Minnesota Lao-Hmong like to grow garden to eat, sell and raise their own chicken. Problem with American food they used chemicals and pesticide which cause cancer.
Very good perspective and yes I do miss Laos but just recently though. If you were to ask me what I think of Laos 5 to 10 years ago, my answer would be 'nothing'. You stated well, as we get older we are less ignorant because we become wiser and humbled soulfully. I will never forget where I am from.
I would enjoy the lifestyle even more but on a 10 acres property. Food quality is getting worser and worser everyday here in the US.

Even if you had money, I guess you couldn't do anything much with it because there's no shops in the jungle.
That's a huge lifestyle change from having nothing in the jungle, to living a more comfortable life with computer and internet access. It gives people who were born poor in remote areas of Laos hope that one day their life will change too.
I don't think you would enjoy going back to living the way you used to live in the jungle. You're just saying it now because you miss Laos, but you're more older and wiser now so your needs are different. When you were a child, it didn't really matter if you had nothing.
