Ate cơm tấm for breakfast once again. After breakfast I opened up a durian (sầu
riêng) so we could all eat it. Yum! Here, they mainly sell fresh durian. In
Canada, they do have fresh durian but it is a lot more expensive than the frozen
durian
Today, we headed to An Dong market in District 5 around 9 am. It’s like Ben
Thanh market but the prices are cheaper. From what I remember, this market had 4
levels: the basement was the food court, the 1st floor mainly sold fabric,
purses, shoes, sunglasses and accessories for women (e.g. nail polish, hair
clips etc), the 2nd floor sold clothes for all ages and the 3rd floor mainly
sold souvenirs. My aunt bought for me 3 dresses (130,000 VND x 3 = 390,000 VND =
$6.50 CAD x 3 = $19.50 CAD) and 2 pyjamas (110,000 VND x 3 = 330,000 VND =
$16.50). I also bought a camera case for 50,000 VND
