People say that you can buy a lot of things in HCM city in Vietnam - Well, it actually depends on what you want to buy. The most famous market in Ho Chi Minh city is the Ben Thanh Market. It is like the Divisoria (Manila, Ph) of Vietnam! Other than the delicacies and souvenirs unique to Vietnam, it is very similar to Divi -- The narrow aisles, crowded stalls, overflowing class-A or overrun products and a much humid climate! Ben Thanh is unique in several other ways though. It is divided into several sections like dry goods, textiles, local cuisine and souvenirs including the áo dài. Reminder: When in Ben Thanh, do wear comfortable clothes and bring a lot of patience with you as this is a big big place with heaps of tourists and a mix of locals visiting everyday.
