Blog #2 - Sunday Market
My first experience at the Sunday market was some thing i will never forget. It's like the Hmong New Year but crazier. There were a lot of people, food, and souvenirs. As I was shopping for souvenirs, I met a few of the Hmong vendors there. It was so much more easier to communicate with them than English as some did not understand it. It was also easier to bargain. Although the vendors said they would lower the price because I was Hmong, I still felt bad bargaining with them because its their way of life. I only got a few things for my nieces. The one thing I am looking forward to get in Thailand is a Thai outfit as it will be my first. The food there were amazing.
