Shopping
-
Free trade transactions start very
early at most open markets. Vietnam is a nation of sellers looking for
buyers. If you cannot find an item, ask someone and they can find it for
you. Government stores with markets prices are the best indicator on what
should be paid. In a large city it is not uncommon to see a street lined
with electronics and the next street full of plastic goods. Inexpensive
electronic items are on sale at much markets. A compact disc costs only
1US$. Plenty of bargain needs to be done and one can always find something
interesting to bargain over at vendors' and open markets. Dong Khoi street
in Saigon is a good place for Vietnamese silk, handicrafts while Hanoi old
quarter of 36 streets is full of queer local souvenirs and fine arts.

Vietnamese love wearing tailor-made
clothes. In all cities and countrysides, tailor shops are rather popular.
In cities, a hand-made pair of suits costs only USD100 to USD200 including
materials and labor. A pull-over costs USD 2 and USD 4 for an embroidered
one. Tailors' are located along all main streets downtown
