SAPA on films - Will you buy from me, please?

That is what i hear everytime i step out of the mini bus...
Little kids will crowd around you asking you to buy something from them. Their speech is all rehearsed...
"Where are you from?"
"Very nice country"
"Buy from me Please"
"Buy from me later?"

They know what tourist love to take pictures of, so they will pose for you to take some pictures of them and then ask you for some money...

Kids are still kids after all, give them some stickers and they will forget about other things.

Tourism over the years has somehow changed its people and the place...does the people really reap the benefits from it?
