My mum bought a box of chopsticks yesterday. A box of 10 pairs. We didn't check when we bought it. But when we got back to the hotel, my mother found out that there were 2 pairs that were defected. The chopsticks were kinda broken. So we went back again this afternoon. Went back to the same shop and told the sales lady tat we wanted to change it.
Well.. wasn't sure whether she understood wat we were trying to tell her anot but she totally denied that we bought the chopsticks from her shop. Kept saying that there is a lot of shops in this place and she didn't sell it to us. She was really adamant about it even though we tried our very best to reason with her. No means no. No changing. And we didn't ask for receipt yesterday. And we couldn't speak their language so.. result..
My mum angrily threw the chopsticks away!
Lesson: Ask for receipt no matter what and CHECK ur goods!!! =(
Took more pictures by the way!
They're all doing pedicures! Amazing!
The famous french bread!
French bread is really popular in Vietnam. You can see people selling them by the side of the streets all the time. Especially a few years back. Somehow, I rarely see it nowadays. Wonder why... This is considered quite short already. I have seen really long ones! hehe..
Vietnamese dolls! Great for souvenirs! =)
Vietnam is also famous for it's pictures. Especially embroidery kind. It's really beautiful I took some pictures of the gal really sewing it unfortunately i wasn't allowed to take the real pictures. Its really beautiful! =)
One by one... See how big the picture is!
Amazing right?
See how detailed it is!They can literally sew any kinds of pictures. Scenery, art, portrait. Wow...
Saw this outside a shop! I wanted to buy it but it was expensive! US40! =(
Is it nice? I can still go back there and buy.. But.. worth it anot? >.< style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4033/1806/400/642156/DSCF0789.jpg" alt="" border="0">

Saw these 2 kids by the side of the market this afternoon. They were just sitting by the side of the road eating their rice. The girl was smiling so sweetly when she saw me taking pictures. I feel so bad for them.. Wish them all the best!

Hello ! You changed your look once again, it's the opportunity for me to say once again that I like this yellow dress and also these blue and white dishes
Thank you for coming on my blog that night
I'll answer on it however, before I'll tell you what I'll say
In California, I have a cousin who is French, she met her husband who is American when he was her teacher in the past at the US university
Her son is both, French and American and now he will get married with a Chinese young girl who went in America for learning and they are both teaching in Berkeley now.
I find all of that so amazing
