the Lao system is Marxist/Lenenist in name and propanda only. In reality, this country is not even qualified as a socialist country since it spends so little of national buget on social programs.
Wait a minute....are u saying Nkorea is more developed than Skorea?
Where have u been my man? U must be one of those Laotian students that being sent
to study in Soviet Union or Eastern Europe or even Cuba back then, which u see no other countries in the West or Skorea or Japan for that matter.
Seoul is the digital City of the world. There are about 17million pple living in Seoul
relatively about the same as NY city population wise. Pyongyang is about 4million but at nite there is no electricity. Every building turns off their light so no nite sky,no neon in the street etc. unlike the South day & nites are all the same.
Hyundai, Kia, daewoo, samsung etc. these are all from the South.
The South Korean invested in Lao in Motor Scooter, Automobile and Banking. Also helped Lao in many projects such as Chao Anouvong Park among other things cost $150million or so. They built Souphanouvong University in Luangprbang.
Nkorea has the Airline that used the old and dilapidated aircrafts such as 727, DC9 as their fleets among some other Russian made. These are almost 80 years old.
Skorea on the other hand, has two major carriers: Asiana airline and Korean airlines.
Asiana airline flies mostly in Asia. Korean airline flies every part of the world with 747,767,777,A330,A340,A360 and the latest one Airbus A380 which can hold up to 800 people.
Skorea also use the Bullet train from Seoul to Busan in the south
North still use the amtrak like train which run about 30 mph
For the most part of the South, I've been there and done that.
