Isn't that right? So, Vietnam is slowly integrating the Lao populace
into its culture...What a grand idea. Maybe Laos's portion within
Vietnam will catch up to the 21st century faster than previously
imagined. Comrade Ho was so smart, his statues should be all over
Laos to hasten this "cultural" integration.

Readers, in case of you misunderstood the relationship between Laos
and Vietnam it is special relationship. How special it is? Very
special, indeed. It depends on your political interpretation of the
event taking place.. To me,when PDR government signed a special
friendship treatty with Vietnam it does mean our government and our
leaders give the TITLE of OWNERSHIP of Laos to Vietnamese communist
government. Whatever the Vietnamese communist government want to do,
except to them. Thus, by this assumption Laos is a LITTLE POLITICAL
COLONY of Vietnam..

During the Hmong New Year in K52 and Xieng Khouang, there were many
young Vietnamese girls who migrated to Laos with their parents had
come to celebrate the new year with the Lao-Hmong. This proof that
Vietnamese people are moving to Laos in number especially southern
Laos.

Oh you didn't get the news. It became part of Vietnam after May 1975.
