Friend, Kathy B, invited us to see REFUGEE NATION at the Intermedia Arts Center tonight. It's a three person stage show of the Lao experience of war and being refugees. Very well done. A very interesting book besides Yang's THE LATE HOME COMER is Dervla Murphy's ONE FOOT IN LAOS. She rode a bike all over Laos.
Factoid: The US dropped a plane load of bombs on Laos every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day for nine years for a total of 260 million tons. Laos is about the size of Minnesota.
