Author Woo Hee Cheol, a journalist and photographer, lived in Laos for 7 years, during which he experienced some difficulties due to the scorching heat and cultural differences. What attracted him, however, were the beautiful streets, people’s smiles and the country’s idyllic scenery. This book is a frank account of the author’s feelings and presents his views of what Laos really is. If you want to learn more about Laos, a country that Woo feels puts greater emphasis on the essential things in life than on materialistic desires, try reading his book “Laos As You May Not Know It.”
