[Don Sang, Laos on 4/6/23] After visiting Laos in 1950, Norman Lewis wrote in A Dragon Apparent: Laos was considered the earthly paradise of South-East Asia, although Cambodia ran it a close second. So much was this realised by French officialdom that the competition for a posting to either country was strenuous. Many a wily administrator manoeuvred his way to a position in Ventiane or Luang Prabang, where he instantly married a Laotian wife, set up a shrine with joss-sticks to the lares of his house, and spent much of his leisure decking out Buddha caves with fresh flowers.
To one of the displaced Southern California natives people like you are the invaders. While you long for the 20 acres and a mule of your youth, nonetheless the proceeds of the sale allowed you and those like you to invade our homeland and price us out of the ownership market. Eventually, we will retake our lands and eliminate the hated Yanquis, but until then enjoy our beaches and consider yourselves victims. Typical white hypocrisy
I came to LA to educate poor minorities like you. Haven't you noticed WEF plan to exterminate 95% of all humans in the next few years? 600 million people
are already dead or permanently disabled by the Covid "vaccine" bioweapons worldwide.
300 families will rule over a few million docile Asians. No darkies like you will survive.
Yow. Melancholy. Bittersweet. And yet...spirit prevails. In the beginning was...the idea, the concept. And those do not die; they are with us yet now. The presentiment...the apprehension of it all---and the ultimate, the understanding---endures. No matter what. We are creatures of spirit, Linh, not matter.
Lihn, you wrote about Coach Red Pill the other day, well, it seems he's alive (temporarily released from Ukrainian prison) and on his way to Hungary to apply for asylum. Honestly, the guy's a bit crazy. At this point, going straight to Russia would have been a better option.
jesus told a parable - the weeds and the wheat are growing together in the same field - someone asks the farmer 'should we remove the weeds now while they are still growing' the farmer says no - wait until the harvest and separate them - those who have ears should listen, if they can
Hi everyone,
Though the discussions here can get heated, please refrain from calling anyone anything. We're all friends here, and caught in the same burning ark.
Many thanks!
Linh
Most moving. Reminds me of my childhood growing up on my family's 20 acres
dominated by virgin evegreen trees overlooking Puget Sound near Seattle. Now
living retired in my 3rd floor condo overlooking a park in front of a beach south of LA. One
can imagine you're not in LA but it's not evergreens and Puget Sound. Now surrounded by
constant vehicular/pedestrian noise in Sodom and Gomorrah on the beach.

Too late to take over your lands.
White liberal conquerers. At least admit your sins. Moloch awaits once the boomers and their Zionist overlords return to the flames
Lalala - don't you get it even now? It doesn't matter.
Lovely piece of writing, Linh. Beautiful photographs by the Canadian, too. Blessings for your continued healing.
A sad but nice piece.
Globalism is the new colonialism.

Thanks, Lynn. Such a good description of the plight so much of humanity now finds itself in. I hope you are continuing to heal!
Sadly, yes, the greatest Holocaust indeed...unlike the holohoax of Germany's WW2.

If Laos can sell jungle nostalgia, that's big time tourism talk right there. There is a place for globalism within colonialism.
Five dollar hookers and cheap opium. That's the essence of Western expatriate desire
