I just had my moment of fame! I can now die happy! :)
As we were getting ready to board the bus (leaving a georgous monastary in the mountains on a lake), a woman grabbed my arm and pulled me away. A large group of Vietnamese tourists crouded around, waiting their turn to take photos with me. They pulled me this way and that, and took off my hat. I stood there with a huge grin and blushing bright red, baffled at what was happening. All the while I would look back at Viet and our group with looks of helplessness and amazment.
One of the monks exclaimed that I should charge 1.000 vn dong per photo.
It was quite an experiance! :)
