Now, Mike will learn the great Asian tradition of haggling.

Haggling is not confined to any group lol

Anywhere there are small businesses and small business owners.

There is haggling.

In larger businesses it is called negotiating.

Maybe if Kim let the other strap fall from her dress, Mike would be more cooperative, LOL.

I was making $8 a week a half century ago by delivering newspapers six days a week.

Or they could buy her a plane ticket and sponsor her to get a Green Card.

$8 per week? Nike’s going to move their factory to another nation in which they can pay the workers even less.

Oh, he did warn her? I thought he just fúcked off to the museum without mentioning what he knew.

Lol anyone who thinks that Haggling is only a foreign thing has obviously never gone to American weekend tag sales or flea markets !

Charity begins at home. Home is where the heart is.

Those drinks cost more than $8

Kim, private charity is so nineteenth century. You need to start a political movement to have government force the employer to pay more.

mike it’s your wife’s ONLY family.

They’re on their honeymoon. I don’t think a bare shoulder is going to have any affect. A COLD shoulder perhaps.

They’ve got to get her out of Vietnam first.Here comes the sticky red tape.Which Mike is not an expert on.

It sounds crazy but the important thing is start somewhere. Mother Teresa said not to worry about how many, many people need help – “Help one person at a time and always start with the person nearest you.”

I think you could swing $10 a week, don’t you?

OK, if you think $8 a week to save someone is fine, look up Children Inc. and you can do just that.
