Ho Chi Minh is a very busy city. \u00a0It’s estimated to have about 8 million people with \u00a0around 6.5 million scooters. \u00a0It is wild. \u00a0 I mentioned in another post how crazy it is to cross the street. I tried to video crossing one here:<\/p>\n

\nAnother fun and cheap past time is strolling through the various markets. \u00a0The biggest (and known for the best quality) is Ben Than Market. The vendors get their food at around 2am and then set it up to sell in the large market until it either sells out, or it gets too hot. \u00a0While it doesn’t seem too sanitary (especially with the rats chowing down alongside the booths), we have all eaten well and have yet to suffer any intestinal issues.<\/p>\n

There were too many amazing pics of the market, so they are in the video here:<\/p>\n
