Everybody has a good side and bad side, and knowing the difference.between good and bad is a start in the right direction. Having good morals and sticking to them can make you.a good person.In my opinion, there are many ways to be a good person. If you are a student. First is discipline because it is one of many ways to be a good student. As a student, we should go to schoo on time,submit our assignment on time. So our learning process is not disturbed. Second, to reach our.desire to be a good student, we should study diligently. We should study everyday, not only when we get homework, assignment or when we get examination. In general, there are 10 ways to practicefor being a good person.

Lao Foods

                                                    Many Kinds of Lao Foods

Lao food is distinct from other Asia cuisines, although it is somewhat similar to the food found in the northeastern part of Thailand in the area known as Isan.

Most Lao dishes contain vegetables and herbs, rice or noodles and fish, chicken, pork or beef. The freshness of the ingredients is very important to Lao people who like to prepare everything from scratch, rather than use pre-prepared ingredients, as they believe this makes their food more delicious. Herbs such as galangal and lemongrass are favourites and padaek (Lao fish sauce) is found on every table.

One of the staples of Laos food is sticky rice. As the name reveals this rice naturally sticks together so it is easy to roll into small balls, dip into food and eat with your fingers. A traditional everyday Lao meal is simple and normally consists of sticky rice, some natural vegetables and at least one kind of spicy sauce to dip the sticky rice into, plus perhaps some fish or meat.
             

Another daily favourite is noodle soup (they called  feu ) which is a hearty soup incorporating meat, noodles and vegetables. Don’t be surprised if when ordering your noodle soup, a huge plate of local salad vegetables arrives at the same time, together with a range of sauces and condiments.

Lao noodle soup

Although Lao cuisine has many influences, such as Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese and French, when talking about Laos food, most people who know Laos or have been to Laos would know laap (sometimes spelt laab or larp).

Laap is a dish that is particular to Laos and is often served on special occasions such as or other celebrations as in Lao language laap means luck or good fortune. However you will find it served in every good Lao restaurant around the country.
