The Wanderer

                      I havent been writing a song for awhile. I do not know why but this song was made June 5 at 7:38 p.m. I wrote this while I was in L.A.
          
                      The title of the song is Goodbye, goodbye. Feel free to comment and rate from 1-10. So here it goes.

                       Vientiane is the capital of Laos. It is one of the 16 provinces of Laos. It is also the largest city in Laos. The estimated population of this city is 754,000. Sri Sattanak, or Sisattanak is a former name of Vientiane. Sisattanak is now one of the five districts in Vientiane. The original meaning of the city is "royal sandalwood grove" or "city of sandalwood."




















                           This is the flag of Laos. I tried to search in google if Vientiane has a flag. Sadly, i could not find one. The red stripes represent the blood shed for the country's fight for independence. The blue symbolizes the country's wealth and prosperity. The white means unity and justice. Another interpretation of the white circle is that it symbolizes the full moon over the blue mekong river.





                         Vientiane features a tropical wet and dry climate. This is the same climate that we have in the Philippines. The difference is that it has a distinct monsoon season and a dry season. Laos is a Buddhist country but like Myanmar, they are a open to other religions too. There are 67% of Buddhists. There are 1.5% of Christians. The remaining 31.5% are unknown. This means that more missionaries need to be sent. I researched in google and found in websites that the government would only allow two types. Its either they are adventists or evangelical. It is great for missionaries since they would not have a hard time sharing the gospel and helping out the pastors there. The missionaries need our help though, they need our prayers...

                           Myanmar is located between India and China. Since it is located beside those countries, it is influenced by their culture. It was also a British colony from 1885-1937. Most of the country's culture is influenced by Buddhism. A good thing though is that Myanmar is open to other religions. In Myanmar, there are 88% of Buddhists. There are 7% of Christians There are 3% of Muslims. There are 0.5% of Hindus.















                         This is Myanmar's flag. The blue symbolizes peace and endurance. The red represents courage and gallantry. The white means purity and honor. The cogwheel and ears of the rice represents the country's industry and culture, as well as the union of the workers and peasant class. The 14 stars are the 14 states that form the Union of Myanmar.





               The countries in Southeast Asia are almost all the same, so living in Myanmar is not too far off from living in the Philippines. It is mountainous in this country. There are also lots of jungles also. Missionaries would not have a hard time staying. They would need our support. The biggest support we can give them are our prayers.
