From motorbikes to bartering

May 17, 2009

On May 17, we had a free day in Sapa. The guys went riding motorbikes while the girls used their bartering techniques to buy Vietnamese Mung Clothing off the streets. Dressed in the clothing she bought, Ynhi was told that she couldn’t be in our hotel. It was quite hilarious. At 7:30 p.m., we boarded the train from Lao Cai to Ha Noi.
