What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"For Lao people, all of the above! For many foreigners here it's mostly spending time getting to know Lao, visiting its more popular places, socialising etc. It all depends on what you want to do and spend most of your time on. For my family it's sport, socialising and seeing what Lao has to offer," commented one expat who made the move to Vientiane, Laos.
