Laos & Cambodia, Heaven and Earth

RED, WHITE, & BLUE these COLOURS DON'T RUN

an object that travels all of Heaven

These two nations have been on similar historical tracks. Just recently they were drawn in and heavily bombed by the US during the Vietnam War of Independence.

Before then they were colonized by the French. Before then, they were subject to domination by the Siamese Kingdom.

But long, long before the arrival of the white people, Buddhism was the chief religion that held its sway.

Although both are dedicated Communists, most economists believe they are really 'In the Closet Capitalists' just like China, spiked with a splash Commie dictatorial bitters. It seems only North Korea and Cuba have kept the idea of a dry metallic workers paradise alive.

White Temple of Divine Nature
an object resting on the Earth
Laos and Cambodia are guarded by Thailand on the East and Vietnam on the West.

Although they are right next to each other Cambodian and Laotian are very different, they can not understand each other. Oddly Laotians can mostly understand their Thai neighbors.

The Mekong River runs along these nations and they are both of the Pacific Ocean, ruled by a perpetual summer interspersed with a rainy season. Rice paddies and tropical forests are abundant in both.

They are union of Heaven and Earth. The ancient temple of Cambodia rests solidly on the Earth while, the Moon of Laos glides across the Heavens during the day and night, and every so often she can eclipse the power of the Sun.
