I'm so flattered. hahah<BR/><BR/>Yea, it's pretty a put off being approached here and there. The trip was an eye opener but I did not actually expect it to be relaxing, really. As a matter of fact, I basically walked in those 6days more than I do at home in a month.Call me A.S for AkiraSabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234531863064074831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242091252440006024.post-61768188606997193512008-07-09T13:33:00.000+08:002008-07-09T13:33:00.000+08:00Wow, those are really great pics!I hope you are en...Wow, those are really great pics!<BR/><BR/>I hope you are enjoying your trip.<BR/>I don't know how I would handle being hassled by merchants and people trying to sell me stuff all the time!<BR/>Geez!

I remember...hahhah..."hai lo, paeng ma..." hahha... I remember hearing a joke about Malaysians saying "Hou paeng how paeng" complimenting the price, and got even more surprised when the hawker kept reducing it each time he said that. hahhaha.<BR/><BR/>I miss Thailand... speaking here right now at my hostel in Vietnam. Aside from it's chaotic traffice, the people here is far different than those in Thailand. They give me the impression they love tourists only for their money. Everything you buy here has got a special rate for tourist. They'll try ripping you off your money whichever way possible. I'll write the whole story in my next blog. Been out strolling this chaotic city the whole day and been pestered non stop. Looks like I'm not the only one pissed off by their antics but the foreigners as well. What a waste, this country has so much to offer in term of magnificent sights! Heading to Halong Bay tomorrow.Call me A.S for AkiraSabinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04234531863064074831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242091252440006024.post-23737825238225538962008-07-04T10:01:00.000+08:002008-07-04T10:01:00.000+08:00i rememebered the word "paeng" as in expensive in ...i rememebered the word "paeng" as in expensive in thai lang. when we were in a store, we kept repeating the word "paeng" hahahhahaha ... <BR/><BR/>paeng, why not buy it, paeng ma ... yeah paeng ..... the shop owner didnt find it funny ...hahaJohnny Onghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368538590359769938noreply@blogger.com
