    Folks, Ive been to Laos a few times because my fiance lives in Vientiane . In the capitol, you see all the NGO's driving around in their Land Cruisers and Range Rovers, but once you get in the countryside, you do not see much help hitting the bricks. There is so much poverty its too much for those with the most golden of hearts. Ive met Todd and he is the real deal. If you do happen to be there while he is around, meet the man for a beer. He is honest to a fault and will open your eyes to things that may not get covered here on RUclips much. Everybody please have a blessed day and be thankful for what you have.

    Hi Mina, I hope that your loose tooth has come out now and that the tooth fairy has been to collect it. Your singing is great, so keep singing. I hope that you have a lovely time visiting Grandma and your little brother. Keep smiling and laughing. Hi Todd and Neenee, what excellent parents you are, that little girl is so sweet and happy to look after her own school things. Her English is amazing and has only come about through the love and care that you give to her and the love that she has for you. The Pizza place looks great and the menu is so full of delicious food. Looking forward to your trip to Mina's home village and hope that you manage to get all the paperwork for Mina's passport sorted out soon. Praying for a safe trip and may God bless you all. 😀❤🙏

    Such a kind gesture from Mina, who seems to understand how fortunate she is to have you and Neenee in her life. Both of you are doing such a GREAT job in teaching and raising her. Very enjoyable, interesting video. Making my inaugural visit to SE Asia in October to Thailand for a month. Next year planning on spending 2-3 month visiting several SE Asian countries, presumably, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. Am a 1st generation 74-year-old Chinese American male, married with 4 children born, raised, educated living in Southern California. Thank you for sharing your personal lives and life's adventures with your viewers. Some really good people in the world.......much thanks to them, you and Neenee for improving people's lives, making the world better!

    It's too bad we can't be there for the Grand Opening of the restaurant .Perhaps you could do a livestream or a Google Chat where we get to see each other and eat our dinners together with a Q & A. Mina, the tooth fairy will take of you. Todd let us know when she loses her tooth. We will send her a contribution. Hope Mina's gets her passport. It will open up a whole new world
    for her.🙏 All the best. Jim and Harriet

    That pizza looks amazingly authentic. Do you know if the chef or owner is Lao that lived on the East Coast of the U.S.?
    I'm Born and raised in NYC but the last 30 years living in Oregon I can tell you that pizza looks better than 95% of the pizzas i've had here in Oregon. The crust looks spot on , cheese,spot on, and those pizza slices in the window are actually called "Sicilian", Square or Detroit Style but back East no one ever says Detroit style(blasphemous) only Sicilian or Square. Those also look authentic as well as the Lasagna so that's why i'm wondering if the owner ever lived or worked in the states or perhaps Italy. I'll be sure to visit that place whenever i come to Laos in the future. I make my own lasagna at home. Here we call it, "Take Out or Take Home, instead of Take away.. a North American thing. Nice video as always Tod.

    • @NowinLao
      @NowinLao  4 месяца назад +1

      Hi Steve.. Neenee did ask actually. The owners are Lao.. but their grandfather was Italian. Not doubt he's passed on a lot of knowledge about Italian cuisine. This restaurant needs a lot more recognition.. absolutely delicious 👌

    • @stevebubbie1126
      @stevebubbie1126 3 месяца назад +1

      @@NowinLao - Wow!! It figures. They did a great job on retaining his culinary knowledge. I'm glad to see this high quality restaurant open in Vientiane. They certainly do need more recognition. i know here in the states , about 75% of all restaurants fail at the 2 year mark. i truly hope they prosper, it's a hard business to be in. Maybe some signage around town would help as well, mostly in the tourist areas? A Michelin star perhaps? Please pass on my compliments even though I haven't tasted any of their dishes. Regarding their pan pizza, it's hard to get the crust right, the dough preparation can be tricky and takes time.(There are some RUclips videos done by Italian chefs that can clarify how a good dough is made) Most pizzas done by non- Italians, the crust looks flat, hard and tastes bland. the owners must have their secret recipe under armed guard 24-7!!

    My Lao teacher said she didn't like pizza, then she said she liked Italian pizza just not pizza from The Pizza Company, and then she said The Pizza Company puts ketchup on their pizza and I was horrified, who puts ketchup on pizza?! I was very glad I hadn't eaten there, but I'll have to check out that pizza spot near Wind West, looks good.
    The locals I've met have also said separate your cans and bottles from the normal trash for good luck, but it seems a lot of times when a Lao person says something is for good luck it's often just a kind thing to do, separating your trash so the poor folks who depend on it don't have to dig for the trash for recycling is just a kind thing to do.

    Lol howdy Todd,,the string on the tooth brought back memories. 😂😅 my Grandma,,when us grandkids were staying with her and we had a sloppy loose tooth. She'd tie the string to the tooth and the other end to the door knob and she'd tell us to brace ourselves and she'd slam the door and the tooth would go flying. It didnt really hurt at all,,but 3 of my girl cousins were big babies and bawl their eyes out,,then I'd have to cry for them. 😂😅 from about 8 on I'd take care of them myself,,tooth fairy be damned. The food looked pretty good. I hope the naibon is cooperative and gets the paper signed. I hope Mina doesn't get so homesick she wants to move back. I seriously don't think she will,,but after the shenanigans with her biological father,,I alway worry a bit. Every time she is featured on a video,,I get blown away by her whole persona,,she is so kind and sweet and empathetic like with the old woman,,shes wicked smart,,and I swear she has the best sense of humor of any 7 yr old I've ever seen. I've got an idea for a Mina present,,but I need to talk it over with you,,so we need to figure out a time when I can call you. My email is crazymountainman01@yahoo.com. maybe we can start there. Have fun on your 4 day roadie. Take care and be safe! ❤❤Mina ❤❤. Ttyl,,,Marlon
