The Annamite Moutnains are just as commonly known as the Annam

Something about Luang Prabang, Pathet Lao, the Plain of Jars and the 4000 Islands would be nice rather than the same boring questions about Indochina, agriculture and rice which seem to appear on every country quiz in the region.

So that is why this was the last quiz I was missing in order to get the Country Trivia badge... Too many Laotian words. But I agree, probably it would be better if all the quizzes had more questions specific to the country, even though that would have made them much harder...

This quiz was a LOT meatier than some of the previous ones on smaller countries, which often asked about people and places that were not even really in that country. I hope you get a chance to revise some of them. I think you responded to a similar comment to mine, with you saying that a meatier quiz on a small country might be too hard and turn people off. I think instead that people learn things from these quizzes. Keep it up! (Or possibly have "easy" and "hard" versions for those small countries.)

Agreed! A lot of the specific country quizzes get simplified a lot, so that the answers are more generic and therefore easier (half the quizzes to have "landlocked", "agriculture", etc. as answers). If I know next to nothing about Equatorial Guinea I shouldn't be getting 4 points. I don't want to be overly critical, though. It's really nice to see all these countries getting their first featured quiz, and I'm enjoying the series.

Didn't get the currency question and I've been to Laos. Dollars were pretty much the currency there in most of the big cities, don't know about further inland.

Bummed that I didn't remember the name of Kuang Si Falls - I visited them in November 2019, on my last overseas trip before Covid-19 closed everyone's borders! Stunningly beautiful, and the pools under them surprisingly cold to swim in.

I got only 14 and was stunned to see that the average is 16. Favorably stunned, since it looks like nobody knows that Laos even exists, and Laos and Vientiane are among the least guessed places on other quizzes.

I missed seven, including the last five, but I enjoyed it! Couldn't get Kung Lao from Mortal Kombat out of my head when I was trying to think of the communist movement.

See now I'm picturing Kung Lao as a communist enforcer, and he uses his hat for intimidation.

"Unity" and "unification" should be accepted for the question about the white disc. Per wikipedia, "According to the original creator of the current Lao flag, Maha Sila Viravong, the white disk in the center symbolizes the unity of the Lao people (and the future reunification of the two Laotian regions of Laos and Northeastern Thailand that are divided by the Mekong River) under one nation. It is also said to represent a full moon against the Mekong River."

"shelled" or "mined" for bombed? (sry I don't know what type of bombs they were)

"shelled" would refer to artillery, "mined" would refer to landmines. Both are not considered to be bombs, as those are dropped from planes.
