Hanoi scam totally got
a Jim yesterday. I can only shake my head as they see Jim coming and he is like
deer in headlights . Elizabeth and I are walking ahead, no eye contact and see
a woman coming with baskets of what looks like donut holes and offers us the
donut hole by almost putting one in our mouth. I quickly shoe her away, hand
up, eyes down and walk faster. Then I stop at a corner and notice that Jim and
John are no longer behind us. From the corner of my eye I see that Jim has
stopped and has his big wallet out. He has decided to buy donut holes on the
streets of Hanoi. I slap my forehead and go noooo! He then is arguing with the
lady. I ask Elizabeth to find out what is going on. Elizabeth, my minion,
reports back that dad is arguing over the crazy price of a bag of donut
holes...$50 U.S., someone has taken one of John's new Keene sandals away for
"repairs" and he is also trying to get that back! . BTW The
donut holes were absolute crap. And what is with the daily side walk fires. It
is hot and smoggy as hell, there is absolutely no sidewalks to speak of and now
we have to avoid impromptu fires and floating embers! Crazy in Hanoi, bring it
on!
