vietnam - ben thanh market

ben thanh market is a famous market in saigon.  you can pretty much find anything here.  only thing was that it was so hot and humid in the market.  after about 10 minutes, you just want to get the hell out of there for some air.  and that's exactly what happened - we were in there for about half an hour and according to kristen, it felt forever.  :)

rows and rows of merchants

one of my favorite fruit - durian

you choose the durian, they cut it up, you sample it, and then they put it in a container for you

lianne is mesmerized

fresh seafood


banh beo hue (glutenous little round things filled with dried shrimp and nuoc mam) - never had this type of food before and it was delicious
