A little cooler and overcast today. We are going to see the tourist spots today with our guide.
Communism must have been a hard sell to this city, the streets are full of people selling things, from taxis, cyclos, to food and every thing else you can imagine for sale from little spots 3 feet wide between store fronts. Len said that the paper money must be worth less than the cost to print it, although no worse than our copper pennies. We bought two bottles of ice water from a street vendor and she said 10. Len gave here a 2000 note which is the smallest he had thinking how would she make change, and she shook her head and showed us a 10,000 note.. which is about .65 . The exchange is 16,000 to 1$.

Hi, sounds like you're having a great time! If the paper money is worth so little, do they even have coins there?
I wanna see pictures, post some pictures :).
