Wait! Before steaming it, you must soak the sticky or sweet rice overnight or 4-5 hours first then put enough water in the pot, wash the soaked rice a little bit but not too much otherwise you wash away the vitamins and minerals. Put the basket on top of the pot and steam it until it is cooked and put the cooked rice on the tray and turn it around to cool it down and put the cooked rice into the Lao syle bamboo basket before eating with Lao food.

2-4 times a year is a lot. Let say it is $1500 per ticket every time you go. That really add up. Would it be better to save those money and just go 1-2 a year.

You want to eat sticky rice in Lao style? Go shop for sticky rice at Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese and Korean grocery stores in your community. Don't forget to buy the pot and the bamboo basket to steam the rice or you can eat it at the Lao - Thai temple every day.

Obtaining sticky rice is not a problem but to have our complement Lao food can be quite a challenge since I don’t know how to cook lol. Reminiscing further back as a young kid, my grandma used to making our Lao dish and our sticky rice was very soft.  It stays in my memory forever.  My plan though, is to visit Laos 3 or 4 times/year when I am 50 because most of my families are there and with the grace of God, three of my siblings earn a decent salary.  My sister for example, has been working for foreign embassy in Vientiane; currently, she is making 600 American dollars a month and her Japanese husband makes a lot more.  At the age of 50, I will be able to collect my pension $1600/month, then when I turn 62, I can also collect social security benefit approximately $1800/month, so if the rate of inflation won’t be so great based on consumers index, I should be ok financially.

I plan to stop working full time when I am 50 years old.  But thanks anyway for your information.

That is quite true but if we only visit Laos once or twice a year, we might stay there longer and our daily expenses can also add up but you are right about the airfare.  Hopefully, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) won’t be so high by then so we can keep the inflation rate as low as possible.

My family wants me to offer English classes for the kids in the neighbors because in Laos, our newer generations are eager to learn the language.  My sister on the other hand, needs help with the accent.

Oh! One more thing, I can’t hold back my tears every time I watch this video seeing our people study abroad.  I am just proud of them so I get emotional. They did such a good job performing our traditional dance choreographically.  May the Lord guide them the path to their ultimate goals and grant the solace to every Laotian in the hours of despair so that nothing can ever go amiss or awry.  Majority if not all of us Laotians believe in meekness as a virtue simply due to our culture and tradition and it is the underlining facts profoundly instill inside our heart and soul.

What's wrong with this person?.  What did we do to you to make you hate all of Lao American?  Are you jealous of us because we're in the land of opportunities and  have more freedom than you?
