American habits to help you save in Vietnam

American habits to help you save  in Vietnam

Never carrying cash

Haggling 101: Tell the seller you don’t have that much cash on you, tell them you live there, stick to that strategy. That feeling when you know all those amounts of stuff you can buy at ridiculously cheap rates because you’re “out of cash” is almost like highway robbery. And if you’re genuinely an American, maybe you don’t have to lie because you actually don’t have the cash on you for real.

Sincere and friendly smile of Vietnamese people

Speaking your mind

“No, I’m not gonna pay 100k vnd for these coconuts. No, please don’t try to sell me any cocaine. Yes, I can see you staring at me? Would you like anything? Want me to kick that cute little ass? No? Ok, then let’s move on, shall we?”

Showering more than necessary

If it’s April through October, you’re sweaty. If it’s October through April, you’re wet and sweaty. Luckily, you’ve got this hygiene thing down to an art.

Watching your six

You’ve watched way too many episodes of The X-Files, and wherever you go, you “trust no one”. Your eyes are in your back watching for that motorbike pulling a U-turn and driving up to you a little too slowly. You take a second to summon your ninja skills and BAM! You’re wrestling for your bag and some karate chops later, they drive off empty-handed.

That relentless optimism and can-do spirit

You don’t even bat an eye when that man on the side of the road patches your tire with an old piece of rubber and a lit cigarette. Crazier things have happened, say Kim Kardashian being taken seriously. And you think handing over that 50 cents is totally worth it. Will this tire stay good in the next six months> you bet. However, 50 cents for a story and a tire is not bad.
