Sapa Day 2 Ok.. We got to get up early coz we had to check out by 8am.All our clothes were still wet and dirty.No choice.So we said the first thing when we reached Hanoi was to send them to laundry. I wanted to pon the trekking coz I scare my knee cmi and I preferred to shop la... Haa.. But I still went.We had to rent boots coz we were trekking along muddy trails. When we started walking down the roads,we realized more and more pple joined us.Not tourists but the local tribal pple.They started to hover around us.. haha..They chatted with us but we knew ultimately they wanted to sell things to us.Although we knew,in the end it was very hard to escape.This is the scariest part.But we got to talk to them in Vietnamese!!!OK.. Actually my fren got to practise more coz mine is really lousy. Sapa pple are better in foreign lang coz they see so many tourists every day.So they learn and use when they are selling stuff.Good lei.. Haa.. Now the scary part... The hovering strated at the beginning of the trekIt was really long walk.Plus the roads are uneven and we got squishy mud for a long distance at later part of the trek.But they kept following us. 10k?I'm not sure.Then I got acquainted with a small girl.12 yrs old.She kept walking beside me and I decided to be friendly.I wanted to be dao coz I knew they wanted to sell..Haha.. I treated her and some others peaches.Fast forward.. After lunch, while we were walking,many of the tribal pple kept coming up to u and ask u to buy.The parents asked the children to sell while they make those stuff at home.Although I din feel like buying,I bought coz the children seemed quite desperate.Felt like if we dont buy, they cant go home or what.But one thing is we cannot bargain with the children.Coz their parents ask them to sell at that price and they cannot reduce,otherwise they get scoldings.Buy from older pple is better. I lost the girl for some time and I felt bad.Coz I hadnt bought anything for her and I already planned to do so, since she followed me all the way.But she managed to catch up. So in the end we bought so that they stopped following us.And u cannot stop!!Once others see you buying from another person, all of them will crowd around u and ask u to buy.Exactly the same stuff.Muz learn from my fren.Walk and bargain and buy at the same time.Plus they dont pester guys.Coz they sell accessories mostly. HA... But I like the accessories la. It was the way they sell that is scary.
