With the help of this very nice girl that worked behind the counter at my hotel, I designed a for sale sign in both English & Vietnamese. I had bought a bigger water proof bag and a helment back in Hanoi at the start of my trip. Not needing these items now, I thought I would hit the streets and try to sell them. I was out front of the hotel not having much luck so she come out and asked why I didn’t go down to the market where there was lots of traffic. Excellent idea! She thought it was a really cute idea and they were all having a chuckle in the hotel.
So I treked down to the market and setup shop beside the locals on a busy corner. The locals weren’t sure what to think. They were all giggling. I only had about 30 mintes before I had to leave for the airport so I thought I would have some fun. I had some folks come by with cameras and they took many pictures. I would even change my pose every now and then. Good Lord, I felt like a movie star. Then someone from Australia come by and took a close look but decided not to buy. Then a Russian girl came along but didn’t buy. I finaly run out of time so I took all my items back to the hotel and gave them to the young lady that helped me design my for sale signs. She had a big grin on her face when I walked in. When I checked out she told me she was gong to sell everything for me on Facebook. She was super nice with a great personality. I knew I could sell everything if I would have had more time due to the large number of people coming by. Sales is a numbers game which works very good in Vietnam! It was getting hot as well with an expected temperature of 95 degrees. At least I got a feel for what the venders go through at the market!
I arrived into Seoul around 7:30 PM and checked into my hotel.
