re: An emotion of a Vietnamese-American at the Tan Son Nhat
Reply to @tt: I know what you mean, but basically it is another form of giving tips although people usually feel better if giving tips in the open space (and not being asked for) although Vietnameses are not customed to accept tips in the open space (and in front of others). In USA, I give tips to cab drivers everytime although I don't have to but I do (and usually the cab drivers don't do anything for me - I carry my own bags). So it would reasonable to give tips to people who help you with your lugages (and they will after accepting your tips).
Just another thought through my mind, what would the cab driver (in USA) says to himself if I don't give him any tip? You would never know!
