Vietnam Etiquette, Wyatt Logan

When I went to visit Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam I went to the Ben Thah Market. I was walking around untill I could fine something nice to buy. Then I saw a tradtional vietnamese pot that was very cheap. So I reached into my pocket, pulled out the money and tryed to give it to the lady. She looked at me with a deathning stare, then I rembered that in Vietnam that it is polite to give someone something with two hands. I quickly put my other hand on the money, passed to the street vendor and she kindly excepted. I was lucky that the street vendor was so kind and was thoughtful that I was a tourist and that i did not know the proper etiquette, but to some people in Vietnam it is very disrespectful.
