Market Culture in Vietnam
Published: 04/05/2013 03:10
Market culture in Vietnam is still alive and well. The hustle and bustle of Vietnam’s open markets can be summed up in one word…chaotic.
They are a very busy meeting place for locals (and foreigners) to trade, sell, and negotiate their overflowing abundance of meats, fruits, vegetables, flowers, spices, and plastic knickknacks. It seems like everything and anything under the sun goes at these markets. And, even in the indoor markets, motorbikes frequent the halls whizzing, honking, and pushing their way through the traffic of pedestrians. Every large city and even the smaller towns have active markets which act as their main shopping arena. Much like the malls you find in North America, these crowded open and closed market places provide the local Vietnamese population with a central place to pick up fresh cooking, clothes and shoes, appliances, linens, and even furniture. Foreigners travelling to Vietnam should definitely check out these markets to experience the vast variety of goods available from all over the countryside and beyond. Not to mention the smells that fill your nostrils and overload your senses in a way you’ll never get at the supermarket. It might have something to do with killing and butchering livestock in the street or the petrified (dried) seafood crowding the stalls, or maybe it’s the garbage like smell coming from the durian? Not really sure but whatever it is we garantee it’s not the overflowing baskets of garlic (’cause that smells good in comparison). internet |
