I can't find those in the banks here, just some worn ones. I will be back in Việt Nam for next Tếtand want to take at least 50 crisp $2 bills with me. This year I sent money to my friends in Việt Nam to give out for me. I can't send money in the mail because there is no way to hide USD because of all the electronic telltales in the bills so I just send it by a money transfer service. Back in 07 my daughter and I were in Cam Đức for Tết and walked around the town giving out the envelopes to all the small children we met and to the ancient ones, too, 5000đ to the little ones and 20,000đ to the old ones.

I went to several banks this morning to get as many crisp $2 bills as possible.

I also went to a Korean market and promptly told to go to a Chinese store close by. Apparently different customs and traditions.

I have had fun the past few days in my journey. I have learned more about culture than I have at any time in my life.

I bought several pounds of Mandarin oranges, enough for me to spell ‘Hello” and send my son a text with a picture that I learned how to spell “Hello’ in Mandarin. A pun was intended.text
