| Laois Opinions on 15:17 - Apr 30 by Rodney | My wife and I went there as part of a trip from Laos (where we met Michael Buerk doing his own tour), through marvellous places in Vietnam and finished up in Cambodia to see Angkor Wat. Throughout, the food was great, the people friendly, lovely beaches and all very good value. I rate it as one of our best ever holidays and we've done a lot of travelling to some wonderful places. You'll love it but stay off the hooch, it's a killer (literally). |
Laos is land locked? Mind you Clive had a marvelous time one ore season on a river beach |  |

True, but I think he said he was on a tour, which took in the Nam and Cambodia. Laos is without doubt, the most relaxed place I've ever been to, and Luang Prabang one of the most gorgeous places, too. Beer Lao, the best beer in SE Asia by a mile for my laks as well. Mrs PH and I travelled around Laos for a few weeks. Given that we lived in that part of the world for years, it's scandalous we never returned! As for Laos being relaxed, the joke is that the PDR part of the country's full name stands for: Please Don't Rush. Very little in common with Laois mind you. |  |

One thing in common...neither have won the All-Ireland Football Championship. Laos have a hurling title. Sorry, that was Laois. You'll never guess who succumbed to that singular humiliation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ |  | |  |

I am, of course, reminded of the famous Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh commentary: "Seán Óg Ó hAilpín: his father's from Fermanagh, his mother's from Fiji. Neither a hurling stronghold.” [Post edited 1 May 19:05]
