The Ol' Fourth Floor Trick

This is a brilliant move by receptionists to get hotel guests. They tell you that the only room they have for you to look at, and take, is on the fourth floor. You therefore have to trudge up a miserable staircase with your life strapped to your back to look at the accommodations to decide.. But by the time you reach the top you are so tired you'd accept a rug on the floor as long as it meant getting to put down your bags.

We have decided on another motorcycle trip. We will depart Nha Trang this morning and head for the central highlands on the Ho Chi Min highway. We are going to hit the town of DaLat on the loop and end back here in Nha Trang. With our current pace we realized yesterday that another Vietnam visa extension will be required. Once you're in Vietnam it's incredibly easy to stay.

Time for breakfast, and to brave the crowds of people hawking their wares on the street.
'Hey man! Hey lady! Buy something.' I'm considering starting a business here... These vendors could really benefit from a couple classes 'How to sell crap to tourists' , 'What not to scream at people you are trying to swindle' , 'Why you probably shouldn't treat tourists like gigantic babies with diapers full of cash, even though they are'.
There is a need for classes like these. Something to consider for a retirement job maybe.
