    One thing about Vietnamese people they are hard workers ! You don’t see people there begging for money, they are on the streets selling what they can to make money. You can also see the First Lady is willing to look through all her inventory just to sell him one more shirt. They are all about earning every dollar I love Vietnam. I’m here now and I’m coming back to visit every year.

    brother, i lived in saigon for 12 years and i was known in BenTanh as the 10% man. i started off firmly offering 10% every time and often I got what i wanted for 10% the price. my wife , who is Vietnamese, thought I was crazy but over time she grew to know that I was the master negotiator. i went back a few months ago with my family, after 5 years, and people from the market knew me when I was walking up. Ur insight about how they will respect you more if you negotiate is spot on. having said all this, everything you bought is total crap. i subscribed.

    You are correct, bargaining is expected. You are looked upon as being smart if you bargain strongly but respectfully. The vendors are good people looking to make a living like everyone. I start at 25% of the asking price and stay firm for a while, then gradually go up. Even though I know I will buy the item, I pretend to walk away. Always highly compliment the item then say that it is above your budget or what you can pay. Then the real bargaining takes place. Have fun with it and respect the vendor. Never pay more than 50% of the asking price but that is rare. Stay around the 25-30% price no matter what they say. Remember, the item you want is not exclusive. It will be elsewhere. In fact, the grapevine seems to travel fast and a vendor will approach you knowing how you bargained and offer the item at a lower price than the previous vendor. It happens more frequently than not. And always, always be respectful.

    The man you give the shoe and Tshirts said "No home, souvenir. Motobike... Alibaba. Telephone... Alibaba..." He mean he is homeless and you give him many, it will be stolen by thief. In Vietnam, "Alibaba" mean the thief.
    In the end of video, I think maybe he has a mental problem (maybe because he has had some kind of shock in his life) and that's why he holds your hand, presses your pulse with his finger to hear and say "doctor", he means he examines you.

    Enjoy your video Chris. You mastered the negotiation techniques; Bargaining is the norm in the Vietnamese culture so don’t feel bad about it. Regarding the homeless man , when he said you look like Alibaba and you had no clue. Then he said “ Alibaba bay” . Bay in Vietnamese mean “fly” . He referred you to a character in the children’s book “Alibaba and the 40 thieves” . Alibaba had a beard like you and he used the flying carpet to get around. I think when he tried to hold your arm and imitated the doctor’s technique “listen to the apical pulse” because he really thought the you were ill. Only severely sick or crazy person would give him all the nice and brand new stuff. By the way Vietnamese women think long beard guy resembled Bin Laden . So be careful they may think you are walking around with bombs.

      This is Vietnam. She could’ve kept hush about the 50k but didn’t. Countless times I’ve misheard and handed over 30k and they’ve returned 10k. It’s 50cents but they don’t want to cheat you. It’s to the point where I just hold out the money and trust them to take the right amount ❤️

    Cool video clip, Chris. I bought those T fake name brand T shirts to wear at home, and they actually hold up very good. The material's quality was decent too. For the wallets, I suggest you spent just over $200 for a real alligator wallet. I bought one in Thailand. It has lasted many years, still going strong and looks new. I tried a fake wallet in VN. It fell apart just atfer a few days.
    To sum it up, some of those " fake products, although their quality can't be compared with the real ones, but some are still of high quality, since even some original name brand goods are made from Asian countries. You'll need to exam the quality of the products to skim out the good ones among them though.
