How To Let know a Viet that you’re unhappy
I was checking my awstats (which is the software i use to see how many people visits my blog and what search words they use), and several visitors looked for “how to let a vietnamese know you are unhappy with the deal”.
So i thought, well, let’s see what we can do for that! Cause google is talking to you when you’re a webmaster… I have also an search engine optimization blog if you want to learn how to put your website on google for some nice keywords search terms, also i have an SEO guide but that’s not the point.
So how do we let a vietnamese know we’re upset?
1/ laugh, joke at him, tell them all the crap you think about them in your own language in a relax way, they don’t understand english french whatever even if they fake they do know it. It helps you to release that stress they keep sending you.
2/ Never smile. When you’re unhappy do not smile or show affections to those people cause they don’t show any to you. I mean in the whole world it works like that but it’s more emphacized here in Vietnam, here in Vietnam, they don’t care what you think, they just care of your money.
3/ Don’t blink, it disturbs them very much, i’ve noticed that. (don’t even ask me how did i figured that out…)
4/ Just tell them they are assholes and they’re meant to die alone, then go away and usually they’ll come back to you to make a better deal with you.

oh so you think we’re all about money huh? oh right what if they did understand what you were saying and they don’t come back and offer you a new deal if you call them assholes?

Since you seem to have lots of experience with Vietnamese people, maybe you can help me out:
Last week, I was shopping at the Asia Mekong grocery store in Hamburg, Germany. I was sooo happy to find a store with lots of hard-to-find food items from the Far East. So, as I had done in other grocery stores earlier that day, I whipped out my iPhone and started taking notes of what’s fresh and available today… a small little inventory of items that I could refer to when at home thumbing through my recipe books. Two young Vietnamese girls offered to help me find anything I was looking for. I told them I was just looking around. After an hour or so, after happily browsing every aisle, I bought a few items and left. Today, the owner’s wife approached me and asked what I was doing. I told her I was shopping. She asked what I was doing with my device. I showed her my iPhone pointed to a browser with a recipe for Tom Yum Goong and said I was surfing the internet. Then she asked me what I was doing to her food items. She said the workers claimed I had been in there several times last week (a lie, I was only there once) and was doing something to her food items with my device, my iPhone. I told her I was making a list of what is available to reference later when I’m looking through my cookbook. She left. A few minutes later, her husband approached me and told me not to write down prices. I insisted I was not writing down prices, only making a list.
Can you explain what might be going on here? I was really offended after being accused of doing something bad when I was innocent.
I wasn’t writing down prices. Regardless, prices in a public store are public information. Even if I was writing down prices, I have to right to write them down. It’s not illegal to do so here in Germany.
What in the world were they afraid of? Any ideas?
