Lessons from our Guide Huy (whee)

From Marianne:

1. To say "Thank You" in Vietnamese, say "Cam un."

2. Vietnamese people like to see a smile. Smile and say "Cam un" to them.

3. When buying an item from a street vendor "everything is negotiable."

4. One of our group members asked Huy "How do you say, "No, thank you." Huy's reply, said with his infectious smile, was "If you say 'No, thank you" to a street vendor, they won't understand it."
