wooooooot.... yet another day in this fantastic place called vietnam...
today my mom and i made our way to china town to the largest market in HCMC called ben tay market.... this is different from the one in district 1 (ben tan) dont get mixed up... it was a really mad house there at ben tan market... it was so crowded... once entering the market you would be constantly bumped around whilst balancing on that small little path way wedged inbetween the towering goods...
ever gone shopping but dont feel like shopping just because there was too much to scan through? well here we were facing that exact dilema... the goods were really pilled up so high and they only left one small opening just enough for one person to walk through...
cant believe it? it is crazy... what ever you see here are shoes... and this is only 3 stalls selling shoes.... there has to be about 20 other stalls selling these shoes... but i must say one thing good about this place is that the shop keepers dont play tug of war with you like the way they do in ben tan market...
well after going to ben tay... we decided to buy back some seafood from the wet market for dinner... it is really cool... everything here in the wet market comes alive... every thing... crabs prawns fish... we bought back some cute little soft shell crabs and river prawns.....
i do pitty those little crabs... so poor thing leh.... imagine you have just molted your shell and they put you on this gigantic tray... and now and then people just walk buy and the next thing you know you are being poked at and picked up and thrown all over the place... and you realise that you do not have any defence at all... really pittyful...
well due to my deprived childhood i felt like making them feel at home... so ya... i started talking to them... making them feel at home... then when i felt we were getting somewhere i started to play with them... hey i bet they enjoyed it.... OK FINE I WAS TORTURING THEM IF YOU WANNA PUT IT THAT WAY....GEEEEES.... hey i only picked them up and inverted them... i thought they were tired from the journey and needed a rest... so much for being a good smaritan... FINE IM GONE...
friends always care
