Ethnic apparel, traditional festivals, and nature photos.
Laos is a nation that has lots of
interesting characteristics. Women wear silk skirts, hair bands, and sashes that they wrap over their
shoulders and around their chests. My favorite tradition is the procession and the release of lanterns
into the air at the Pha That Louang Buddhist stupa in Vientiane. I also like the traditional Lao New
Year. It makes me happy as people give alms to monks, pour water on Buddha statues, pat sand, and
splash water on each other. Laos has forests, which provide us continuously with fresh air.
