Laos is hosting ASEAN this year. There are banners on the road welcoming participants, police boxes are being painted and the government is closing schools and offices for three days next week in an attempt to present an orderly facade to the world.
Today we learnt VIS has to close for the week, causing a few logistical challenges. Professional learning days will be moved, so we will go into school, but the students will have the week off, no doubt stressing families who don't have childcare and have increased work demands due to the Summit.
