This week's viewfinder:

Around 70 ethnic groups populate this mountainous, forested country. Men are expected to be monks for at least a short time and women must not intentionally occupy a physical space above a man, to protect his spiritual status. A foreign influence is seen in the national sport, a form of bowls. Tourists prefer tubing down the river. Name the country.

Can anyone help me with this one?

Laos fits the mountainous, forested, monks and tubing bits, and probably the spiritual status one, but I don't know of it having a national sport particularly like bowls.
Best of luck. It sounds as if it ought to be somewhere in that direction.

Thanks Muffet for your reply. I've just read that petanque is very popular in Laos so perhaps that is what they mean.

Thanks again.
