Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Due to some crazy circumstances, Ate Yas, Tita Nancy and I had tickets to go to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam! Fully paid by the company, with allowance pa. Shopping money na lang ang kulang!

For a change, we had no meetings and workshops to supervise. We busied ourselves with shopping! Ang term namin, "Nagwala kami!" We gave our arms an exercise with the big bags we had to carry around. We also developed an expertise talking to Veitnamese vendors.

New words/pronunciations in our shopping vocabulary:
XL - Ek Ewl; XXL - Ek Ek Ewl
Size - Zay
Tape Measure - Met
Box - Bok
Bill - Biw

Ros: Give us discount!
Vendor: Can not!
Ros: Can!

We will go back on March for the actual IOM Closing Workshop. For sure, babalik din kami sa mga shops!
I'll chronicle my purchases in my next entry.
