SPAH SEE BAH, Nha Trang!!.........Bitteschön, Koh Samui!!

At pretty much every place we went in Nha Trang, the local tourist hawks would proposition or solicit us in Russian. In Koh Samui, they all approached us assuming we were German. I guess it was not really anything super new, as when we were on the Greek island of Crete, we were two Americans surrounded by an ocean of Netherlanders. But we never got used to the assumptions, and it was always so funny when people would just naturally spark up a conversation with us in German or come running up to us with menus/brochures in hand yelling in Russian. And they would all be so surprised at the dumb looks on our faces when we replied, "sorry!?" in English.
