Just not long ago I payed a visit to Vietnam, the country which had been into a number of big wars before that caused mass causalities. Despite it, this country is gradually recovering from the bloodbath, and it has become a country of delicacies. Hanoi is the capital city of Vietnam, but Ho Chi Minh City (previously known as Saigon) is the largest, so I chose to go to Ho Chi Minh City.
Ho Chi Minh city is swarmed with motorbikes. It is impossible to not encounter one on the streets. The hectic streets of Ho Chi Minh resound with the beeping sounds of the abundant number of cars. The citizens of this metropolis seemed to be already familiar with these screeching noises, as they don't even utter a word about the noise pollution. The streets there are also somewhat clean, as the security guards sweep the floor when they have nothing to do. This city is laden with tourists all over the world, ranging from America to China, which made tourism a major income for the country.
Due to this city being a tourist site, some of the souvenirs and food here are ridiculously expensive. To prevent being exploited, one must know the market prices of the items. To buy coffee, magnets and other stuff, I would recommend the bazaar of Ho Chi Minh. There are about 200 stores in this bazaar selling a variety of items, so there are plenty of things to choose from. As a tourist in this city, you must be wary of some hawkers here that might increase the price by tenfold. If not, your pocket will burn a hole immediately.
