Name of Shop: Local shops
Before the TET festival, locals are busy buying up everything they will need during the actual festival days. Prices go up the closer you go to TET and during TET, you are at everyone's mercy so stock up.
What To Buy: We bought five liter bottles of water and refiled our smaller bottles to carry around with us. This saved us a lot of money and if you have a fridge in your room, buy some fruits and snacks in case you find yourself with no food during TET.
What To Pay: Pay 15,000 dong ($1) for a five liter bottle of water.

I enjoyed reading your stream of fondest memories. If I ever get to Hanoi, I'll be a bit more wary, but won't make an ass of myself! | magor65 Thu Nov 15, 2007 18:42 UTC
What informative, honest, well-written tips. I'm sure they'll be of great help to me. I'm going to read on (i've skipped nightlife and restaurants) before I set off to Vietnam in February | saracen Fri Dec 15, 2006 06:47 UTC
Richie, your great Vietnam tips will definately be followed up next week - I can hardly wait! Thanks! | Nemorino Wed Sep 6, 2006 23:14 UTC
Yes, pho is the greatest! I don't think that Ho Chi Minh Museum even existed when I was there in 1995, but I did go to his stilt house and mausoleum. Also I rented a bicycle and rode all around for several days (and survived to tell the tale, obviously). |
