    • Name of Shop: Ben Thanh Market

    You will find Ben Thanh Market right in the heart of the city. Here you can buy just about anything from fresh produce and meat [some still living], tableclothes, clothes, art -- it really is the shopping heart of the city. You will find many restaurants nearby, including Pho 2000. [See my restaurant tips]

    What To Buy: I purchased a Christmas tablecloth and napkins.

    What To Pay: Bargain, but don't be unreasonable. I was fortunate in that I had my young Vietnamese friend with me who did the negotiating.

    Directions: It's very hard to miss! The picture is an old postcard but it still looks like that! [There is just a LOT more traffic!]

     Excellent page on HCMC. I was equally captivated by the fleeing mother pix in the War Museum and took the exact picture:)
