Itinerary from Laos. In the article "The Lost Kingdom" find out about the secret war that the U.S. fought against these poor countries, on the unfortunate king, poppy fields, corrupt politicians and Buddhist monks. Luang Prabang, the former royal capital city is under UNESCO protection, housing the most beautiful Buddhist temples, but also a number of illegal opium pušionce ...
French colonizers before they left Indochina, they left a saying that described the people in their colony, so they said that the Vietnamese plant rice, Kambođanci is watching and listening Laosan to grow. Specifically, in Laos is considered that too much work is not good for the brain. Their culture of life implies that one should avoid any kind of mental work and pity the people who think too much. From the typical Lao perspective, if the work or even the game contains an element of thinking, it is recommended to avoid such activity as unquestionably leads to stress and disease. In this belief, and now half of the 5 million residents can not even read or write.
Laos - the land of the Far East, deeply embroiled in the Asian mainland is surrounded by Thailand, China, Burma and Vietnam. One of the 10 poorest countries in the world. Annual per capita income is less than $ 263, and 85% of the population lives in the countryside of Agriculture.
Fly Lao AIROMA usually can not be avoided. The route between the capital and Vijentjana 500 kilometers away Luang Prabang, due to bad roads and the complicated transport which involves the use of motorcycles, trucks and river speedboat, lasts for several days.
World agencies namely not recommend flying Lao Airlansa the simple reason that Lao airports do not have a radar and pilots sljeću as 'the eye', which at the time of frequent rain is not an easy job. Our flight went peacefully, except in certain moments needed ignoring white smoke in the cabin, water dripping down the ceiling and the door of the cockpit that are nervously drummed on luggage. Actually most of us were concerned unhealthy hum of the engine.
The plane was half an hour after the flight had to land that poured fuel during which time the passengers got off the plane to stretch my legs and smoke. During the flight stewardess nice skillfully maneuvered through apex between the seats similar to those of buses and scattered luggage, offering only water and Coca-Cola. The pilots landed the generals' uniforms are good, maybe a little too hard as usual trademark Russian military pilot school.
In the seventies during The Vietnamese-American War CIA agents or trained Lao minority tribes in the fight against the Communists. The war that led to it was so secret that even in official communication among U.S. soldiers forbade the mention apex of Laos, but used the term 'second show. " The country has been a bloody battleground on which the whole of the Western world even years later he did not know the real truth.
For the last 9 years, 24 hours a day, every 8 minutes U.S. bombers are throwing a deadly apex cargo of bombs. On average it was 10 tons per square kilometer or half a ton of explosives per capita. Daily This war cost the American taxpayers $ 2,000,000.
These CIA operations in considered the largest and most expensive paramilitary apex action in U.S. history, or as it is said 'Laos apex has been one of the most expensive American joke. " Mercilessly bombing the innocent victims caused enormous resentment, which resulted in a large number Laosan joined the Communists solely due to the revolt Amerikancima.Naravno it very skillfully used the Russians, who years later by the communist regime controlled the country.
Luang Prabang, the former royal town is now under the protection of UNESCO. What seemed to work for centuries Siamese, Burmese, Vietnamese and Chinese armies to destroy the city, the Communists succeeded in only a few years of rule. Although Buddhist temples and many houses built in a specific Lao-French-style preserved to this day, almost a third of city residents 'disappeared' in the early years of communist rule.
Under the Marxist-Leninist banner of peace, independence, democracy, unity and prosperity of 80 and 90 years of the last century peodgajalo in numerous educational camps more than 160,000 inhabitants.
In one such camp ended last Lao king Savang Vatthana. After a failed re-education, the authorities of the entire royal family was taken to a cave in the north of the country apex in which a few years later died of starvation. Ministry of Information and Culture even today does not recognize the death of the royal family, but argue that the king has accepted the Revolution and to live happily in the north of the country. Royal residences in the city center was turned into a museum, but most residents of Luang Prabang believes that the palace is still living spirits of the royal family, so that even the local police do not dare enter the home network
