Laos Sandwich Man

Speaks Lao, Thai, English, French, and Vietnamese. Reads Russian. Views Lao people as very open to outside cultural influence despite a paranoid government. Views Lao people as extremely friendly and harboring no ill will towards the French or Americans for past atrocities. Thinks there's too much traffic in Vientiane and can only imagine how congested Bangkok must be. Views the Thais as very friendly but somewhat arrogant in their worldview. Considers China to be Thailand's largest political influence. Believes we must be wary of nationalism because it's so often followed by war. Says that the people of the world have all suffered so much, now we must behave. Makes a seriously delicious lao-style baguette hoagie that's longer than your arm and costs less than 1 dollar.
