Vietnam: Sapa Village girls
Originally uploaded by iSammy
When I first arrived Sapa, these girls greeted us with great smiles and great energy. They all know how to say three main things:
"what's your name?" --"Where you from?" -- "How old are you?"
They followed us as we trekked through Sapa's rice fields and became our friends and gave a helping hand through steep hills, crossing rivers and narrow paths.
When we reached their village, however, they suddenly become "evil" and attacked us. "You buy from me, I help you, we friends" --"Okay, how much for that bracelet?.....What? $10? NO WAY, $2!" We not friends anymore.

Evil capitalists or shrewd salesmen?
