Thursday, December 31 – If someone stops you in Vietnam to chat, they want something. Invariably. If someone approaches you in English, be wary. It might be a motorcycle driver who wants to give you a tour. It might be a handicapped person selling postcards. It might be an artist looking to show you his portfolio. It might be an unemployed person looking for spare change. It might be a tour operator looking for clients.
It’s sad to say, but it’s never just someone looking to meet a new person. The lesson is: be prepared when you hear the question “How are you today, my friend?”
