Trip to Vietnam --1

More on this Ben Thanh market. This market seems to be open the whole day.
The first time we went in ,

it was around 3pm, it was hot, stuffy and so many people around, you'll wonder what the people are doing at this time of the day!
This section, you'll find all the dried sea food, many different types of dried
prawns, dried fish, can abalone, shark fin. pickle fish in jars, in wooden barrels
salted fish of all sizes.The smell in the heat can really drive you nuts!!
So if you're not buying its best to move on!
This section is the fresh market. Here you'll find crabs, fresh prawns, fish still swimming. people cleaning fish, people buying their daily needs.
Here you can also see ladies dressed up with high heels, LV handbags,
stepping gingerly on wet floors. moving gracefully around the buckets and pails of fish, prawns and what that's for sale.
