Lao is the main language spoken in Laos. There are lots of small languages spoken as well, such as Khmu and Hmong. French and English are also spoken in tourist areas.
The Lao Kip (LAK) is the type of money used here. $1 dollar in the United States is about ₭ 22,000 kip in Laos. They use paper money like in the US, but here it's much more colorful--blue, red, green and pink.
A bottle of water costs about ₭ 10,000 kip, or $ 0.44 cents.
The best meal I had was a yummy bowl of soup called "Khao Piak Moo Cop" or Crispy Pork Rice Noodle Soup. The soup has pork meat and broth, chewy noodles, meatballs, onions, and lime. I like to add red peppers to mine to make it spicy!
My favorite type of music to listen to is pop music! My students in Laos like to listen to K-pop or Korean Pop music such as BTS or BLACKPINK.
