Does he ever visit the place where poor people live? old school? hospital in rural areas?
Why would he visit those places? There is no money there. He visits the places that will put more money into his pockets, the don't want to be seen with poor people in "barn nork". That would be losing face. Besides, we all know that Lao people are all rich, there are no poor people in Laos. If Choummaly lives in a palace, just imagine what the rest of the Lao people live in. Look at them Arabs, their country has oil and they are all rich, they drive lamborghini's in the desert. Lao people have electricity cause of all the dams they built and look at them, they drive.... umm... scoopie i's? Okay, something doesn't make sense here, where did you guys hide all your money?
