Shopping in Viet Nam is quite an experience. I can find just about anything in an outdoor market or along the sides of the streets. The other day we bought plastic hangars for our room for under thirty cents. Communicating with the vendors is still pretty difficult, so when I ask about the price, the woman (yes, it's almost always a woman) either shows me the correct bill or types the price in to a calculator. It would be perfectly acceptable to try to get a lower price, but I figure a few cents is worth so much more to them than it is to me- so I always give them the asking price if I want the item.
