What is the name of the city or town that you are reporting on?

Vientiane

Describe how you "dreamed" expat life would be before you moved overseas. Please provide as much detail as possible.

No illusions. Having lived and worked overseas in many developing countries.

I wanted somewhere with a pleasant climate, nice friendly people and reasonably cheap to live and with in reasonable travel distance from Australia and New Zealand.

How has your expat experience met the expectations you dreamed about before you moved abroad?

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate it 8.
