Made in Laos


Once upon a time there was a prince who lived in beautiful castle...STOP! STOP! STOP!

Rewind...

Once upon a time there was an English girl called Norma who traveled to Laos. There she was in one hot evening in need of something to drink, sooo she walked to a small shop and asked for a can of Coke.

In front of the shop there were four people eating meat on a stick and drinking beer Lao...reeewind...milk. A lovely Laotion woman stood up and got her a can of Coke, and invited her to try some Laotian food with them. Soon enough, Norma's trying the drinks, the meat on the stick spiced up by several kids of sauces, having a great time with the locals.

It's getting way past dinner time, so she reckons is time to say Goodbye and head home...But before she asks one last question: "How did they cook the pork that it's so tender?" .... The woman smiles back and answers nonchalantly :" It's not pork. It's dog meat."

Now kids, what's the moral of the story?...

That's right, "Don't buy Coke in Lao!"

Thanks to Norma for sharing the story over a cup of tea...
