There is quite a few mountain, forest, green. Elephants deers and tiger live there. In 1955, Japan and Laos started its deplomatic relationship. Japan is one of support contries to Laos. What we would like to say to the future Japanese leaders here, we appreciate Japan build bridges, hospitals, roads and so on in Laos. The principal food is stiky rice. There is quite kind of soup. Since textbooks cannot be provided to pupils, teachers read or write subjects and pupils copy them into notebooks. In local area, pupils go to school and help parents such as fishing, rice planting and so on. Also some of them play riding on water baffalos.
