Disparity

Here is todays luncheon feast. What you see is Lao BBQ with vege and sticky rice. Purchased at a small street stand, unfrequented by falang, this repast set me back 27,000 kip, about $ 3.50 US.

Later in the day, espresso drinks for two, in a Euro cafe in the old quarter, came to 47,000 kip.

Lao people don't frequent the Cafe.
