Shopping

If you wish to purchase a complete Vietnamese dress, we found Hoi An with the best deal. It costs $16Us for overnight made-to-order. Other traditional dresses cost as low as $7US. Compared to other cities in Vietnam, including Saigon, made-to-order dresses are from $20-$25US. And ready-to-wear dresses are $18US+.
In Saigon, we went to Ben Thanh Market. There was a sign posted there saying "all prices are fixed" but haggling was still very much in practice. This market is the best place to shop for cheap backpacks.

Food

Hmm, what can I say about Vietnamese food, hmm.
Ask what kind of meat is in your soup before you eat it.
