Ben Thanh Market is a very vibrant place but I find the vendors there very aggressive and intimidating to a certain degree. It’s very crowded and competitive. One cannot simply make any eye contact with them. The minute they see you looking at them, they latch onto you, that’s it!
One should not also touch any products on display if you have no intention of buying. They think you want to buy and they latch onto you, that’s it!
But buying is also a skill. You must not show interest otherwise you won’t get a good deal. We did not buy anything this morning from the market. And honestly I find haggling too much, it’s not in me.
After a while, we left and headed to Saigon Center for some cool air.
Fancy some fresh seafood?
Maybe veges instead?
How about frogs?
I think seafood would be good
Crabs looking crabby, all lined up
Peeled crabmeat
