Answer: People often ask me this question. I get it. They want to know why would I toil away hours and hours of my personal time for a blog? And indeed Laoconnection.com has been around for many years so it's a lot of hours.
In the beginning it was my desire to contribute to the online community - a form of community service, so to speak. Essentially, it was to make available a useful and fun resource for others to come and learn about Lao stuff.
Lately my inspiration or rather my motivation are my nieces and nephew. They may not know this fact. The fact that I want to leave a knowledge bank of Lao stuff for them to learn from. And in a broader sense, for all young Lao people especially expatriates growing up abroad and who want to learn more about their roots.
