Hello, I am trying to learn about new places and I was hoping you could teach me about Laos, Iv'e never heard of it. 
 Laos is a country in southeast Asia. the capital of Laos is Vientiane. Laos is landlocked which means it doesn't have a coast on a sea or ocean. Boats from Laos cannot get to the ocean using the Mekong River because of rapids and waterfalls in the south of the country. 
 I would like to learn about the History of Laos please. 
 Between 1964 and 1973, the US dropped two million tons of bombs on Laos, nearly equal to the 2.01 million tons of bombs the US dropped on Europe and Asia during all of World War II, making Laos the most heavily bombed country in history relative to the size of its population; The New York Times noted this was nearly a ton for every person in Laos. 
 Wow that is crazy! Can you please tell me more about history in Laos? 
 Laos was requested in 1979 by the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to end relations with the People's Republic of China, leading to isolation in trade by China, The US, and other countries. 
 Interesting, Can you tell me about the Government and Politics in Laos? 
 In 1989, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, with the support of the US government, instituted the Comprehensive Plan of Action, a program to stem the tide of Indochinese refugees from Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. 
 I would love to hear more about the refugees from Laos, what happened? 
 After talks with the UNHCR and the Thai government, Laos agreed to repatriate the 60,000 refugees living in Thailand, including several thousand Hmong people. Following threats of forcible removal by the Thai government, the US, in a significant victory for the Hmong, agreed to accept 15,000 of the refugees in 2003. 
 I never knew that, That is a lot of refugees! Can you give me any information on Laos culture? 
 An interesting fact about their culture is that polygamy is still customary among some of the Hmong people. 
 That is interesting. Do you have any information on the type of clothes they wear or a special dish from Laos culture? 
 I'm sorry but, I don't have any other info on the culture there. I can tell you something about the demographics though. Hill people and minority cultures of Laos such as the Hmong, Yao, Dao, Shan, and several other Tibeto-Burman speaking peoples have lived in isolated regions of Laos for many years. 
 I think I have all the information I need now, Thank you so much for all the knowledge. 
 You are very welcome!
