Redbaron Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Last time I was in Laos, I changed 4,000 baht into kip. I practically needed a basket to carry it away. HAHA! Had the same "problem". Took USD to Laos, exchanged a couple of $20's and fark me, the wallet was chock-a-block, as were at least 2 pockets... Felt like Richard Branson only better looking...

gobbledonk Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 i thought you lot just bartered and stole from each other down there Pretty much, Phil - poor people generally have to accept that they will need to trade a donkey or a child to get through the Winter. I find the donkeys easier to marinate. Despite this massive handicap, we still have 4 cities in the Top 10 of the 'Worlds Most Liveable Cities' - not sure where Manchester, Birmingham and Liverpool rank in that sort of listing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World%27s_most_livable_cities#World.27s_Most_Livable_Cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobbledonk Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Have to agree - any list that has Adelaide in the Top 10 has to be suspect. At least the other cities have identities - poor old Adelaide just sits there in the middle of the country, largely forgotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
