Update
So……have not ridden the E-bus again. It’s actually called the e-bus even though I referred to it multiple times before as an E-car. It’s more like car than a bus in my opinion. It kind of reminds me of Zippy, other than it is electric, it’s not red, it has plastic windows that roll up and it has a Laos driver. None of those things are true for Zippy. But still seems like a car to me…..this is what 90% of the tuk tuks look like here:
This is what the other 9.9999% look like this:
And there are 2 E-busses.
I wanted to update the ice cream situation. So something went awfully horribly wrong there when we bought that ice cream a couple days ago for 70,000 kip. I was sort of kidding when I said I thought the sign had been recycled from Thailand. But I am really really thinking that the sign WAS from Thailand and in baht. It is literally the only explanation. I say this bcz I saw ice cream for sale in a mini mart and it was exactly the same, a cornet cone and a magnum,and the magnum was 16,000 kip and the cornet was 13,000 kip. Now while still a bit pricier than Thailand ice cream, it is way closer to what I would expect. Pretty much everything is about 20-25% more expensive here than in Thailand. We have as yet to really decipher why this is. But that is 29,000 kip vs 70,000 kip. YA, I just don’t know what went wrong, we must have been delirious from sun exposure. That is the worst rake I’ve been subjected to in like–FOREVER
Also wanted to share this product. What does this mean? And can I use it? This wouldn’t fly where I am from……
You should be able to click on the picture to enlarge it to see the fine print but just in case you can not read it, it says “manageable black shampoo”. What if I was blonde?
