This photo was taken at the Ba Le Market. We found quite a few items at this stall.
Steve's been quite ill since moving in on Friday, So for the first few days, Mark, Julie and I searched for items like cutlery, plates, large coffee mugs, dish soap, dish rags, scrubbers, hand towels, cleaning supplies and kitchen utensils. It seemed we walked forever! But we were very successful! We even found a frying pan and a hanging drying rack at the Ba Le Market. In total, we spent around $40US each.

A very crowded Tiger Market that is about a 10 minute walk north of the Old Town.

Here I am at the Vien Gau market buying some spices, pepper, peanuts and sesame seeds. We can hardly fit between the stalls ... add a few Vietnamese ladies pushing their way passed you and barging in front.. you might understand the chaos.

The Vien Gau market is nearby about a 10 minute walk the opposite way from town. Along side the vegetables are the stalls with noodles and open tables of pork, chicken and various animal parts all being chopped up. The catch of the day are along the sides of the market, on the floor. We are offered fish, eels and shrimp.

Even the Chickens are Dressed for Tet!
