That'll be one miiiilion dollars! I mean kip

So I left chiang rai cause it wasn't that cool and went to Chiang khong. I stayed there for one night. There was a bar which had a bunch of dvd's that you could watch for free so I took advantage of that. Watched "Before the devil knows you're dead" It was cool, I reccomend it (If nothing else but to see Marisa Tomei topless, meow). There happened to be this concert going on in town so I walked over to that. I was the only white person there which I thought was cool at first. Some people approached me and were happy I was there. I stood in a field to watch the concert. A group of guys sitting in front of me kept pointing and looking at me so I left, fearing an oncoming stabbing.

I crossed the river to Laos today. Laos seems sweet so far. I exchanged by thai bat for lao kip, thoroughly ripped off in the process. I really didn't need to exchange because you can use kip or baht pretty much everywhere (or US dollars as well, and you sometimes recieve change in combinations of any of the above). However, I'm now rolling in dough with a wallet full of 50,000 kip notes (writing this blog entry and checking my email will have cost 10,000 kip). Tomorrow I'm gonna get on a boat and go down the river.
