Trucks
For many years, food vendors in American cities have
offered "meals on wheels" --- selling food from trucks.
Hungry people can find more than just hot dogs or
pretzels in these vehicles. Many serve high-quality
food from other cultures. Now looking for new clothing
is becoming as easy and satisfying as exploring the
tasty offerings of food trucks.Kelly Jean Kelly tells us
about a new movement: the fashion truck. Once a
month, just after sunset, trucks fill an outdoor parking
lot in Los Angeles, California.
Some trucks sell all kinds of food products, from sweet
ice cream to spicy seafood. Others
have clothing or jewelry for sale. These vehicles are known as fashion trucks. Many people have never seen a
fashion truck before.
"When you come in, it's kind of like like going into a closet, you know, and you sift through everything. It's
really cute."
Janelle Shepard is exploring everything inside the J. D. Luxe fashion truck. The back of the truck is a mini-
store. Clothing hangs on one side. Jewelry and purses are on the other side. The store is stylish and looks well
organized. There is also a very small room for trying on clothes.
The cost of owning a truck is much lower than making monthly payments for temporary use of store. And
there is another reason to use a truck: you can take your business to the customers. But there are difficulties.
The biggest challenge is definitely the weather. When it's cold, it's cold outside and there's no one here.
Another issue is keeping the truck in good condition. When a vehicle breaks down, the repairs can take days.
Business stops during the repair work. Meagan Rogers is a fashion school graduate. She says owning a
fashion truck has enabled her to start earning money while her classmates are still working in unpaid
positions.
Fashion trucks are giving Internet businesses some competition. California Fashion Association President
Ilse Metchek says impulse purchases were once a big part of in-store sales. Impulse buyers are people who
make purchases because of a sudden urge. Now many people make purchases online, where Ms. Metchek
says impulse buying is rare. She says American shoppers may be more compulsive in fashion trucks. "This
is a way to attract impulse purchasing. There's a lot of money out there right now, just a lot of loose
change." And there is a lot to purchase with that loose change. She says business owners are putting more
than just nice stores on wheels. "Any kind of business you can put in brick and mortar, you can put into a
vehicle."
So, there is a truck that sells flowers, and another that features specialty sportswear. A non-profit group, St.
Vincent de Paul, sells used goods from its store on wheels. Such trucks have also attracted the attention of
local officials. Ms. Steffe says she is working with the city of San Francisco to create laws to rule the
growing industry.

Buses offer one of the cheapest ways to get around Vietnam, making them a big hit with budget travelers.
They are also highly convenient, with the extensive bus network spanning to the far-flung corners of the
country. You’ll find at least one bus station in every town. These can look chaotic but many now have ticket
offices with official prices and departure times clearly displayed. Aim to buy tickets a day in advance to be
certain of securing seats. Alternatively tickets can be bought directly through bus companies online, such as
Sinh Tourist, or purchased at most hostels or hotels (sometimes with direct pick up). Additionally, in the
country’s popular backpacker haunts you’ll see lots of signs advertising "Open Tour" or "Open Ticket" buses.
These services, catering mostly to foreign budget travelers, run between HCMC and Hanoi and allow
passengers to hop on and hop off the bus at any major city along the way.
