Nowadays gymnastics are very popular in China and some other Asian countries. Modern

was open in Berlin where they could do bodybuilding and exercises on a high bar and other pieces of equipment.

gymnastics. One of the aims is to make the body stronger for jumps and turns. In competitions,

and other major cities include Luang Prabang, Savannakhet, and Pakse.
Less than 5% of the land is suitable for subsistence agriculture, which nevertheless provides
around 80% of employment. The main crop is rice, which is grown on the fertile floodplain of the
