A VISIT TO SAIGON'S OPEN AIR MARKET


 
Everywhere there is commercial activity – vendors on every street corner. Also note the overloaded motorcycles.


 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 



 

And notice the modern skyscraper with heliport sticking out







But the real hub of activity is Saigon's open-air market. They sell everything from meat.


























To seafood (note the live fish and Clyde inspecting same)

























To framed bats (I bought a couple --- of shirts)











To food stalls. Note some of the strange produce.
















To jewelry stores (Clyde bought Mary some fresh water pearls)










We went there a part of a cooking demonstration. Check out the food and then preparing same. (Chef assured us that the stuff he bought was prepared under strict safety standards – not bought there). Here is Clyde preparing some garnishes.
