    I understand "haggling" but I got ripped off by a taxi driver and a restaurant. No kidding but I will never come back to HN. Ha Long Bay was beautiful but the service was horrible.
    "Ripped off" means you got cheated.

    I see. This could happen anywhere. I did not get cheated in HN, but almost got ripped off in SG by taxi driver who "confused" between 100,000 VND bills and other bills .

    "Ripped off" is US slang. For example: minh mua mot vat khong dang gia voi so tien lon thi minh noi la "I got ripped off"

    1st Version:
    Anyone who teaches me one word - even half a word - is still my teacher.
    2nd Version:
    Even he who teaches me the smallest bit can still be called my teacher

    Please correct my grammar as you see fit. Much appreciated!

    Trường hợp này là bị lừa đảo hoặc là bị chém

    2 pinkypig: YES! I received the Rosseta Stone CD for free (my friend burned me a copy). As you may know, they are VERY expensive ($495. USD). Have you used RS before? If so, what is your impression as a (learning a new) language tool?

    I thought you can't use copy Cd for RS. I wanted to learn Spanish but the RS was so expensive. Hmm... I need to find someone who has Spanish RS now. I haven't used them yet but I saw several good reviews about them. If you need help in learning Vnese just send me a message.
