Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam - Day 29 - 31/03/2010

It was free and easy today. I made a promise with Mi Tom and Linh that after the Dalat-Nha Trang tour, we would go fly kites, one of the local favorites pastimes. We only did it around evening as  most of them(our Vietnamese counterparts) were having classes in the afternoon. We marched down to the nearest villages  where local sellers parked at various positions and hang their beautiful goods. Of course, we wouldn't bought one straightaway, negotiations took place from one seller to another. It wasn't easy though. Our friends helped us. They wouldn't want the sellers to cheat us of our money. It took a while but once we sealed the deal it was back to the Guesthouse to begin the kite-flying session although it was already dusk.
