Fun Facts About LAOS

Laos is one of the fastest growing economies in Asia. While Laos is still a rather poor country, when compared with others in the region, it is improving quickly. Poverty has halved in the past 20 years, while education and health have improved overall.
Vientiane
Located on the Mekong River, Vientiane is continental South East Asia’s smallest capital. It is a relatively slow-paced city with tree-lined boulevards, a mixture of Chinese and French colonial architecture alongside old Buddhist temples

Like in all the villages, towns and cities in Morocco, Fes has more than 400 mosques. Each neighborhood has it's own!
