Ho Chi Minh - 2 Dec 2011

Day 3, we explored Bin Tay Market or Cho Lon Market as the locals calls it. It's a little further than our hotel, about 20 minutes taxi ride. Almost like going to the outskirts. That day was hot and sunny.

Come to think of it, we didn't see any caucasians while we were at this part of Ho Chi Minh.

Binh Tay Marlet is easier to walk around as compared to An Dong Market. Bought a couple of tshirts and dried fruits from there.

But pretty soon, we're done with shopping. Next stop, lunch!

Didn't try any banh mi though. Our lunch place is a pho place called "Pho Hing" recommended by our hotel receptionist. Food was good. Our night entertainment is to visit a drinking place, so we chose to go back to downtown area to try The Refinery, but ended up at having dinner at its neighbour, Jaspas Wine & Grill.

After dinner, we went to the night market outside of Ben Thanh again! Hahaa, another round of  bargaining!
