Money, money, money...
...und schwuppdiewupps ist man Millionaer. In Vietnam geht das ganz leicht und ganz schnell. I am in regular intervals and that's it more than once. For the Vietnamese Dong (VND) is a global currencies with the lowest values. 1 VND equivalent to approximately € 0.00004, for a € you get about 24, 25,000 VND, the price is pretty good right now. And with around 42 €, the result here 1000000 VND, I'm still a long way from home Millionaersdasein. Since 1978, the Dong is the official currency in Vietnam. It is available in all sorts of forms, whether they fail in comparison to the euro banknotes from the relatively small in PAPER SIZE: 200, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000, 20000, 50000, 100000, 200000 and 500000 VND. And all of their front radiates Uncle Ho, he has become so probably not thought, desired, whatever. On the back there are several national "shrines" on the 50000er as the old imperial city of Hue, on the 100000er the Temple of Literature, Hanoi's first ever university, on the 200000er the Ha Long Bay or on the 500000er even Uncle Ho's birth in the town of Kim Lien . Watch this one may not so special, they do exist, however, quite small, increased again since 2003: 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 VND. If one is hard going, especially the very young, no one wants them. And I think that's always quite funny in the supermarket, there they have one price, and you will get back the balance of money 100 VDN, would have to get if you can not pay appropriately. Since this is but neither pay nor in apparent form, you get a candy. And if the 200 that exist, yes, even in the till just now, then you get even two. Been going on 'n little while to get used to the "high" prices. 10000 VND for a bottle of water, which seems already in the beginning of something strange. Also concerning the distinction of notes, I'm so used my time, but where is all on the Ho Chi Minh on it and it also similarities in color, for example, between the 10000 and the gruenen100000er greenish or blue and the bluish 20000er 500000er , exist. As one can ever take the wrong note, if you're not careful. Is so far only happened to me almost, now I have it on it quite well. The Price level is generally still quite low. Where you can go home already for 13 cents, or gets a bus complete with egg, vegetables and herbs filled rolls for 22 cents? Although one where the country of foreigners - expats who live and work here, and tourists - was developed and is already significant, rising differences felt. But also in general can probably due to a rise in inflation, the rate last year soared from 9% to 28%, establish a price increase. As a foreigner you will pay more anyway, since the prices are so alittle bit arbitrary or made more flexible. Very geschaeftstuechtig, the Vietnamese. Many foreigners say they felt unfairly treated ripped off, and even discriminated against, do not hesitate to emphasize that it was received so very different in other countries, namely fair. I myself have also been caught in secret wishes, one would see me, not that I'm from the west, just to be thrown into this one big pot, stands on its label: "spoiled, rich Europeans," for rich 'm by no means. I'm not a tourist in the sense that I live here, if only for a limited time, and just want to dazugehoeren only. And considering what we get from our volunteer organization to a monthly food allowance, namely 1200000 VND (about 52 €), then that already meets Vietnamese and normal conditions, in 40,000 VND per day you can live well, if for reasons of origin, nothing is on it beaten. But basically it's this: we can with our standard of living, together with the available financial resources do not compare with those of the Vietnamese, I'm not like them. I volunteer here but no income, but even with my 100 € pocket money I get each month as part of my program, I still have 'n all pieces far more available than the Durchschnittsvietnamese whose income is in city to 50 - 100, 200 dollars and even more rarely in the countryside just 20 - 30, if at all, dollar amounts. Certainly one could here and there to haggle negotiate the price and because However, the Vietnamese are very stubborn. And I am not very good in it. For if I convert the asking price and realize how little this is often still, then logs on very quickly my conscience. And when I see it as an outrageous foreigners, mostly tourists - driven by their greed and avarice, try some Schnaeppchenmentalitaet sometimes, the prices are pushing almost to nothing, although there are still far below their usual native level and they no could pay another, then ... Grrr! Most people here yet so not a lot, but also want to live only a little better.
