Living in Laos
Officially the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Laos is a relatively small landlocked country in South Eastern Asia. Its neighbouring countries are China to the north, Vietnam to the east, Cambodia to the south, and lastly Thailand and briefly Myanmar to the west. It is a communist state and has been said to be one of the most corrupt countries in the World. The country is also poor in terms of individual incomes and has a criticised history regarding human rights. In recent years however, the country has been experiencing rapid economic growth. Much of this is due to an increased tourism market, as well as trade agreements with neighbouring countries and the United States, after President Obama declared it was no longer Marxist and lifted trade barriers for US companies. In terms of landscape, Laos is predominantly forested and mountainous; deforestation is proving to be a growing problem as the commercial potential of timber is increasingly realised. Buddhism is the dominant religion in Laos, with two thirds of the population identifying with the faith, and the religion plays quite a significant role within wider society and in the country’s culture. Buddhist temples are symbolic of the country, and art and literature also reflect the presence of Buddhism.
