Barter 'Til You Drop

The barter system is very much alive in Vietnam. Never immediately pay the asking pricing for anything. For a pair of shoes, Megan got someone to go from 155,000d to 55,000d (from $10 to less than $4). They may have started especially high because she was American.

Megan's discovered the cheap shoes here in Vietnam. She's purchased 4 pairs so far. Not much to complain about because they're about 1/10th the price they would be in the U. S. Me, I'm going to get a $500 suit for about $130.
