Laos: Meet expats:

Hi all, I'm new to Laos and finding it hard to meet other expats. Originally from New Zealand, husbands away working while I'm at home with a 2yr girl. How do you go about building a social network? I'm worried I'm going to get home sick and not give Lao a real chance.

Laos: where do expats from the US go to have fun:

Hi, my family and i have just relocated to Laos, still finding our way around, but if you interested when you arrive, happy to meet for a drink.

Laos: Living in Laos by 2010:

Hi Helen, More and more people are speaking English in Lao. I've lived here for 5 months with a wee one and life's great. Once you get your home sorted and either a driver or drive yourself, life gets free and easy. My nearly 2 yr old daughter goes to Kindy each morning where they teach both English and Lao and she's comes home each day with new words, songs and is thriving. Medically there are two great clinics, the Australian Embassy Clinic and the French Embassy Clinic. Ive been to both and both give a great service and medicines such as pamol. If it's serious there's a reallly good hospital in Undon Thai approx 2 hours drive across the border which we unfortunately spent 4 days there, but it was a private hospital nicer than an hotel. Personally I'd say jump at it, life is relaxing, there's alot of expats and wives/mum's get togethr regularly. If you do take the leap and move here, email me and I can show your around and help you settle in. Good Luck, Sharee
