Growing up in Laos meant spending a great deal of time watching sports such as boxing and football. I can still remember the thrill of going to football matches at a stadium in Vientiane. Football is like a religion in our family so naturally the World Cup is a time when we would feast on various Lao dishes and how can I forget the snacks for the men and their Beer Lao. It’s a good time for family and friends to gather around the TV cheering the favorite team.

Even though I am at “Home away from Home” I still treat myself to my favorite Lao food like Lao green papaya while cheering for my favorite teams during the World Cup.
