Laos: Hobbies and Games


For the Lao New Year (mid April, same day of the year as Thailand, Burma and Cambodia are now in 2551), the tradition is that everyone starts to water every bystanders, children, adolescents and adults, everyone puts sy, c is a gigantic battle of water in the street ... For information on New Year lasts for 6 days here. These two weapons are the guns has sometimes sprinkle some water but with buckets of water or a jet of water directly. Very funny, especially since it corresponds to the period of the warmest years (over 50 degrees) so the water is welcome!



Children Laos are very ingenious, not having much if anything, they play and make toys with whatever they find: here a propeller that rotates with the wind or current and made a part a sheet ...


It is very hot right now in Laos, the monsoon (rainy season) n have not yet started. Most children do so after a nap every afternoon, quiet activities like playing ball or swimming. They love to have some fun jumping off a bridge and get carried away by the stream a few meters before returning to shore.


The Petanque is also here a national sport, heritage left by the french, you can admire the bowling in all cities ...


Lots of boys and men play here also Kataw (a game or it s to make passes with a wicker ball, we had already spoken to you in the article "Thailand: Recreation ").


And here too the children love playing football, marbles and cycling.



A set of lady like ours but more rudimentary, made with a shoestring.

Arrives in a remote village in the mountains we saw these kids play a game that is very similar to our hopscotch.
