Can somebody tell me what they sell in Vietnam? |
Travel Info My mother is going away for 2 weeks with my grandmother to Vietnam, and she asks me what she should buy as a gift when she comes back, can you please tell me what they have over there? Thank you if you do tell me. I appreciate it. Travel Tips I agree with the earlier poster: give your mom your measurements for some lovely, inexpensive tailored clothes, especially in silk. They can pick out a fabric, pass on your measurements and the next day, one of Vietnam's expert tailors will have produced a lovely dress or skirt or whatever you like. Also very nice are lacquered goods, like vases or other pieces of interior design. A little off-topic, I've found that for a "communist" country, I've never seen a society more willing to sell things. Everything is for sale in Saigon: EVERYTHING. That includes cheap knockoffs of western goods, pirated DVDs for $1 each or less, and even less savoury options: drugs and prostitution are pretty much everywhere. That's the downside of rampant development: certain "industries" really profit from the money being spent. Others I really don't know but it'll be pretty much what they have here only with a lot more scarcity. They're still trying to build something of an economy and a market out there, y'know. It doesn't happen overnight. A bottle of Coca-Cola. Petroleum, garments, fish, crustaceans, mollusks, footwear, rice, and electronic products. bicycle inner tubes that's all i know Haha it's no use even if we tell you what your mom should get for you. Once she's there, trust me, she'll attempt to buy anything! The price there is unbelievable when you compare to the price here. I went to vietnam last year in Oct. and believe it or not, it cost me less than 10 dollars usd for a lunch with 10 people. In case you're curious what i got for lunch, here is it - Wine, soft-drink, hotpots stuffs.. and alot more! Things are cheap there and it definitely worth taking a trip there! Friends who have visited have come back with great tailor made clothes. You could give your grandmother your measurements and she could take them to a tailor and bring back some beautiful custom-made garments for a very reasonable price. |
