The show takes you through quite a lot. From Luangprabang, woodcarving, music, dancing, paper making, bread making, cooking, different villages, elephants, Vientiane, Buddhist ceremony, coffee farm, and Wat Phu.
There's a scene towards the end where an old Lao man is making candy by boiling the liquid he collects from the palm trees. This candy is unique to southern Laos. Years ago I had the opportunity to try some of this candy as it had been given to me as a gift. It was wrapped vertically in a bamboo holder. It was delicious! It reminded me of the maple syrup candy from Canada where they boil the sap from maple trees.
