You can find fresh bambooshoots years round in Florida. There are also the hardy bamboos that grow in colder climate like the ones you see in Japanese or Chinese movies. I live in Washington State and I plant them in my back yard. As far as returning to Laos, I definitely will but have to wait until all my kids finished college. I have one son that is in his third year at UW, one in high school and one in jr. high. I'm 45 years old and I'm ready!!
