We went from street to street exploring out and there was this "friendly" fruits sales lady approach WK and Mary to offer her hat and Carrier fruit basket for photo taking. This two little 'water fish' was not doubtful about it accept the offer, but we scene the fishy behind this "GOOD OFFER", she take out 2 small packet of pineapple and ask us to pay 20K Dong for that... 1.5UsD for 2 packet of pineapple..after much negotiation we manage to get her agree to pay her 10K Dong for 2. Sigh, 2nd time being cheated. LESSON 2 Do not simply accept any offer from the LOCAL people !

I was too exhausted, as I get on the bed I directly fall into deep sleep and I was filty and stinks as I haven't taken any bath for 2 days ...1st day I was working in the day and catch bus to LCCT in the night, 2nd day whole day travelling in Hanoi and whole night on the train which is without any bath room except a smelly toilet. But I can't bother much REST first zzzzZZZzzzz...
