Today, the historical receded, she wore the AO DAI dress elegant, wearing the rounded CAP, Spire Viet Nam's gold star red flag down comfortably.

1. encountering heavy

Ho Chi Minh City to an extraordinary gesture to welcome me.

A storm, and my feet on the ground at the same time reaching Viet Nam accurate.

Anyway, I'm not in a hurry.

You can even though I hold leisurely mood, this all-the biggest city in Viet Nam's airport is still little to pocket change. But just two road customs check, standing in a outlet.

I know the airport to the city's first District bargain that $ 4, I know I'm going to the hotel than urban areas closer to the airport, the second day prior to the arrival of a friend gave me a lot more shield — more than 16 million.

I'm going to use this money to him the next day. Online there are introduced that would like to take a more affordable taxi to walk to the opposite side of the street, the rain is too great. The queue first taxi, I said playing table, drivers begin to agree, and so I went to his car and started told me about ten dollars, I shouted out, resolute attitude, or I get off. He hesitates to say okay, go silent.

Plus the traffic jam of ten to twenty minutes, kilometer away even more than an hour before.

Drivers in Pocket road, I saw the Saigon River, see our Lady like, see the Town Hall ... He brought me tour watches the Saigon River car. From the North-East of the airport to the southwest of the city has a large circle round him back to the middle of the hotel door, table to jump to the 8 million 6 thousand guilders (the second day, go to the airport to meet friends, play to the hotel 3 million 4 thousand guilders). To note, when I had a sudden burst of head, face several zero on me completely confused, take out the money; the driver to take the initiative, through to my hand only a few small denomination of tickets I feel bad; Rob back still innumerable. 8 million 6, I clearly remember, he has gone to the table and then arbitrarily hit a few dozen out 111000 this number. Next to security to urge him to drive away, I have a quick head and Halo, a ticket is a ticket that is absolutely not less than the number before 111000.

Into the room the first thing is the number yourself how much money was left over.

49500, I broke this money sure!, go to the next day in the evening. Even to the Airport pick-up taxi costs are not enough.

In the afternoon go to travel agents and then change some money, the mood is more practical to easily visit one afternoon.

The next day, after PHAM NGU LAO Street, see Internet cafes, door panels on 100 guilders per minute, it seems quite expensive, but more expensive it is not clear. Think of it is a look at messages and Club message board with not much time.

However, I'm hopelessly to be cheated.

It may also be yourself too lazy.

I am not very concerned about the time, anyway the shopkeeper put a sheet of paper write me start time is on the table. Feels about half an hour. Check-out, and asked him how much money he's making 46000 calculator (now they could not remember what is he mistakenly hit a zero or was he knocked at 4600 I took it for granted at another zero?). I paid to him, he 56000 whole, does not intend to change, I stared eyes looked at him, he found me 10000 shield.

Hand limited money suddenly and condensation of water.

Just feel good GUI, Viet Nam online not to think about what's wrong with it. Until it's time to eat. So delicious a big bowl beef noodles to value how 8000 shield, half an hour to surf it cost me 46000? sit down and start small. 100 guilders per minute, 30 minute should 3000 guilders, even according to his calculations I have 46 minutes, also just 4600. Oh, I so generous.

Mood just kept started down.

The abominable shopkeeper, a 40-minute network cheated me 23 RMB shopkeepers, laughing and laughed at me. This lesson I reflection, from then on, in Viet Nam travel, my mind began to become lazy and tell myself not to be intimidated by the large amount. Regardless of any time, any place, I'll personally be a price.

Then think about it, which the shopkeeper then to accept my 10 Waterloo Road times he price of receivable, batting an eye heart jump or surprised, in so many Western tourists PHAM NGU LAO Street, I bet he is not the first time the ingenious use of Viet Nam shield denominations advantage to deceive people.

This is a very simple country.

More than just this small country so eclectic mix of ancient and modern, tolerant and Western; inclusive of suffering and dream; just look at them to be aware of such a large denomination banknotes, the calculation of this item, give their people how much thought training. Look at the street of potters, moving it on the Chin on the million, how the atmosphere.
