Stop in for a cup of coffee

Well, as most of you know there can be some very interesting things going on in Vietnam most of the time. I have known about the banking here for years now but I have never before seen in person this happen. Used to be years ago that they dealt in actual gold coins or gold bullion doing business for land or buildings or something expensive. Now they do it in cash. And I do mean cash. Banking here is anything but what you would see in America. It's a love-hate relationship with the banks. If you borrow money from the bank here you are paying about 20% interest. If you deposit money in the bank here on the upside you will get 11% return on your money each month.. we sold a piece of land to a guy last week and he sent a 3 billion Dong deposit through his bank which is Sacom Bank. We had to go there and get the cash in hand to take to our bank which is a different bank. Agribank is the name of my bank here. My friends that I party with here all the time run that bank that I deal with.
