Laos
,no edit summary
'''Laos''' is a country in South East [[Asia]] surrounded by [[China]], [[Vietnam]], [[Cambodia]], [[Thailand]] and [[Burma]]. Hitchhiking is fairly uncommon, and sometimes people will ask you for money.
Yes, hitching in '''Laos''' is pretty hard, especially in the north, that was [[User:Worldhitch|Worldhitch's]] experience. It takes ages to be picked up. A few cars drive on their 'high' way. Which is a dirt road, paved if lucky. Only one lane each. Looking at the amount of cars (in January 2011) there are around 1 (pick up, car, truck) per 6 minutes. Very different then hitching in Thailand. Near the border with Vietnam, the road 7 are many logging trucks, coming from China. They speak no English most of the time. Try the pickup trucks and point that you want to sit in the back.
In the 80's a lot of people went to [[Russia]] for their studies, and these are often people who cars these days, so you might be able to use your Russian skills.
