Join me for a walk through one of the busiest local markets in Saigon, Vietnam. The Ba Chieu Market is located in Ho Chi Minh City's Binh Thanh District, a short 10-12 minute taxi ride from District 1. I'm always encouraging travelers to get away from the tourist places in order to get a real sense of what the people of Vietnam, or for that matter, wherever you're traveling. Tourists markets or zones are convenient and English friendly but attitudes towards foreigners are very different than from a neighborhood or in this example a local's market. People often get a skued sense of what people are like in Vietnam when they stick to the tourist path. It's also a fascinating way to get to the know the culture, what they eat, and how they do business. I hope you enjoy these experience type episodes.
