I went there back in 2007 for Laos new years and it's like being in Laos. All the street names are even named after Laos city names. They have a large temple there and many Lao people living a prosperous life there. They spent a lot of time organizing the events, especially the parade. Everyone had a good time there and it was a very warm community.

I would recommend all Lao nai's to go see for themselves how Lao people in the US celebrate Laos new years in the USA and abroad.

Conclusion :

The majority of Lao people in the US are happy with their life.

There are good and bad one, just like everywhere else in the world.

There are people working hard and not too hard to earn their living, paying taxes.

Some people are living off (older age people) on their social security income.

Some are on disability, just like other Americans.

And.....so on.................................

I am lao nai. It was my dream that one day i will have opportunity to go to America to see whitehouse. Back in 1973 when i was a young boy. i saw its picture in a magazine that my uncle brought and read in my house. He graduated from Westpoint, Texas (he told me). He read that book in american accent. it was so astronished for me and since then he was my inspiration to start learning English language. After our country has changed the regime. many lao people fled to the third world and alot live in the US. I want to go to see Lao people there and visit my relative as well. I have a limited budget. Could any one please advice me the cheapest expenses of the trip and live there for one month. how much money do I need? thanks

Totally agreed with you bro, But one thing I couldn't stand is weather. Its too hot for me I couldn't even stay in the heat for more than hours. I have to look for a big tree or shade to hide from the sun. I'm from New England where the weather change every three month and I love the cool and real cold weather very much so I guess I adapted to cold environment.

Anyway, yes it was a great experience to see different part of a country and see your own culture spread around the world.

I've been to the white house, not as spectacular as I thought it would be. Many things in the US are over hyped by the media, so be prepared to be dissapointed if you were expecting something life changing.

I think if you want to visit the US and don't have much of a budget to spend then stay with relatives, I'm sure they wouldn't take money from you to stay with them for a month. Most Lao people in the US aren't tight like that. Now if you want to travel and see places in the US then you are going to need some money unless you plan on backpacking around which I don't recommend. The US is a large place so which state or cities do you plan on visiting? I think you should at least have $500 minimum if you want to live here a month, that is assuming you are staying with relatives and not at a hotel. A cheap hotel/motel here could cost you about $50/night. If your relatives have a car to take you places then helping them pay for gas is probably the cheapest way to get around. If you plan on eating out at restaurants then look to spend around $8 a meal at a fast food place or around $20 at a sit down restaurant. I like to compare food prices by looking at the price of a can of coke from a vending machine, that's my international standard to determine how expensive it is to live in that country. In the US a can of coke from a vending machine is typically $1 so just imagine spending $1 USD to drink a can of coke a day.

For me though, I spend around $300/mth just to eat (buy groceries and eat out). I spend about $100/mth on gas to commute to work (about 10 miles round trip mon-friday). My rent is $700/mth (1 bedroom apt) + $60/mth highspeed internet + $50 electricity + $10 water bill. So this just gives you an idea of the basic cost of living for 1 person. For a tourist, it would be different since you would be spending more on travelling and sight seeing. Many places that you would want to visit require you to pay to enter. Sadly, that is the american way, everything will cost you money cause someone wants to make a dollar off anything they can sell you. Who would have thought that we would be paying money to drink water out of a bottle?

If you want to visit a city like New York, be prepared to spend a lot of money. I paid $45 just to park my car for a few hours near Central Park. $250/night is the average price for a hotel in Times Square. I paid $17 to ride the ferry accross to see the Statue of Liberty. Expect to pay toll fees of $5-15 everywhere you go. Oh yeah, don't forget to tip, that is something many foreigners don't realize. The guy that hands you a paper towel in the washroom is not doing it cause he likes you, it's because he wants a tip, haha!

Here is a good estimate of the cost of living in the US: http://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/country_result.jsp?country=United+States

Thank you very much Sir for your information and the web link. I think i have to be more prepared for the trip.

By the way, I heard that if we want to enter the US we have to show the US Embassy in Vientiane our bank deposit or property/Assets certificate to ensure them that we will come back to Laos after the visit? How much money should we have in the bank guaranty. Does anyone know this?

Have a nice Day...
