preface
Living in China, it is estimated that many people do not realize how happy their ordinary life is.
But if you look a little better, you will know that some countries are far less developed than China, and you can't even see a few cars on the street.
This kind of situation is estimated to be completely unimaginable to many people, but in this poorest country in Asia, this is the most ordinary scene, and even as long as there are Chinese tourists on the street, it is estimated that they should be "local tyrants".
Which country is this, exactly? How is their life different from that of China?
The poorest country in Asia
This country is close to Cambodia and Viet Nam, and a Mekong River runs through the country, and it is Laos.
Many people may have heard of Laos, but do not know much about this country, Laos is located in Southeast Asia, and the better development of neighboring countries may be Thailand and China.
Historically the Lancang Kingdom, Laos was colonized by Japan and France after the 19th century, and the two countries also have cooperative relations because of their proximity to China.
To the north of Laos, close to China's Yunnan province, the Mekong River connects Laos and China, with an average annual temperature of less than 30 degrees Celsius.
And it can also be seen from the map that Laos has a relatively small geographical area, and if a country wants to develop, the geographical location is larger, and the natural market is larger, which will be easier to develop.
Although Japan country is also small, the development is not bad, but this has to be discussed separately, because Japan has developed well in the field of science and technology, and Japan has ties with Western countries such as United States. To a certain extent, it is small in size, but it is well developed.
Because Laos is relatively backward, it has developed more agriculture and weak industrial development, and it is not until exchanges with neighboring countries that the economy has been improved to a certain extent.
In particular, China has helped Laos a lot, so the development of Laos has also been improved in the following decades, but it is useless to blindly rely on others, and we must rely on our own initiative to develop in order to reap a better future.
In fact, China has experienced bad and difficult times in the past, but the country understands that only by getting rich on its own can it get out of its predicament, and relying on other people's relief can only survive for a while but not for a lifetime.
Only it seems that in fact, India is still inspirational, although India is also a large population, the previous poor environment has also been criticized, but the development of India has also been improved to a certain extent in recent years.
In the eyes of Western countries, China has also reversed its previous image, and now China is developed, beautiful and prosperous, and many people realize that China is no longer what it used to be.
Even in the international arena, China's status has been greatly improved, and China is a typical country that has become rich by ability and ability.
In recent years, the conditions of most cities in Laos are still not very good, and you can even drink a good drink for a few yuan in the capital of Laos, and it can be seen from here that the living standards of the people of Laos are relatively low.
According to the survey, the average income of Laotian people is about 1,000 yuan a month, and it is estimated that many people find it difficult to imagine that 1,000 yuan is not even the minimum wage in China.
In some of China's smaller cities, the minimum wage is two or three thousand yuan a month, of course, the price of different jobs is the same, doctors or office staff will be paid higher, but most Laotians can only do manual labor or ordinary work.
But in general, although they don't make much money, they also mentioned that prices are relatively low, so most of the normal life is still fine, and the whole family can be fed, but the conditions will not be so good.
Although the local wages and per capita income are not high, their cost of living is also low, so the quality of life of the locals is not as bad as we imagined.
Food, accommodation, transportation and other daily expenses are very cheap, even if the income is not high, you can still live a good life.
Although some people travel abroad will choose developed countries or countries with good surrounding environments, Laos also has certain advantages.
For example, some of the cultures and customs in Laos are different, especially the things in Laos are good and cheap, and you can not only feel the exotic scenery here, but also eat good food without spending much money, in fact, it is quite cost-effective.
Speaking of which, it is estimated that many people are curious about the food and scenery of Laos? How much do these things cost, do you want tickets and so on.
The gastronomic beauty of Laos
What is the environment like in Laos? First of all, there are basically no cars on the road in Laos, cars are exclusive to the rich, and in this case in Laos, almost no one will be particularly rich, and most people rely on motorcycles to travel.
And when asked about what to do in Laos, the ancient capital of Luang Prabang is a very old town with a history of thousands of years.
The construction of the houses makes you feel like you have gone back many years, and there are many tourists who come to visit this place.
There is also Vientiane Pagoda Luang worth visiting, the golden appearance makes people call it spectacular.
There is also the Guangsi Waterfall in Luang Prabang, which makes people sigh that nature is wonderful.
When it comes to what is delicious in Laos, it is even more important to introduce it, Laotians like to eat glutinous rice, and some people will process glutinous rice into rice balls.
The food of Laotians is also more colorful, they like to eat sweet and sour things, and some people will place glutinous rice on lotus leaves, and spread their favorite side dishes next to it, which looks very delicious.
There is also a special delicacy in Laos, which is made of various meats to make pureed meat, and then add chili peppers, fish sauce, etc., this dish is called lapu.
Half of this delicacy can be eaten fully or half-cooked, or even eaten raw, the taste is very peculiar, according to everyone's taste, the person who chooses it will also eat cooked or uncooked.
There is also a food called bamboo slip rice, as the name suggests, that is, the rice is placed in the bamboo slips, and then glutinous rice, fish, etc. are added to it, and then the mouth is blocked with large banana leaves and roasted in the fire.
The rice baked in this way is very fragrant and has a natural taste, in fact, there are similar practices in some places in China.
Another dish called papaya salad is also a Laotian specialty, this dish requires green papaya, chili peppers, peanuts, etc., in fact, it looks a bit like a Chinese cold dish.
But they call it salad in China, because it tastes not only sweet but also spicy, and I have to say that Laotian people still like chili peppers, and they choose to add chili peppers to many dishes.
And this dish is not a national feature of Laos, and many countries also have this dish, such as Cambodia, Viet Nam, etc., perhaps because these countries are relatively close, so the taste is relatively similar, and even the same dishes can be encountered.
Laotians also like to eat rice noodles, and people in some cities or regions in China love to eat things like childbirth, and rice noodles in Laos are relatively coarse.
There are many types of rice noodles in China, thinner vermicelli, thicker rice noodles, such as cross-bridge rice noodles, which are very thick rice noodles, and there are also rice noodles with moderate thickness.
Laotian rice noodles generally add curry, after all, India and Laos like to use curry, and the love of curry is equivalent to Chinese cooking with salt.
Lao roast chicken is also a specialty there. Roast chickens are also indispensable for chili peppers, and this kind of chicken will generally choose home-grown chickens in the countryside, which are not artificially fed, and the meat will be firmer.
After that, it is slowly roasted over low heat to let the aroma penetrate little by little, and Laotians do eat more chicken.
If you compare it to China, China may eat more pork, and although chicken is eaten more frequently, pork seems to be a little more frequent.
In addition, some countries do not seem to be able to eat pigs, which also makes people curious, because it turns out that the environment of a country is so different, and the way of life is so different.
You should also have a certain understanding of Laos here, if it were you, would you want to go to such a country?
