$4 14 a night room on 3-25-23--Don Det copy




I saw a sign for $10 a night room with AC, but the owner was not there. At the second mini hotel, a white man at the desk told me he had no vacancy, but I could get a room the next day for $35 a night, so I thought no way! At the third place, a Lao lady said she had rooms for $6 a night, so I had her show me one. Satisfied, I asked what she would charge if I stayed ten days. She promptly lowered it to $4.14 a night, so here I am.
