Nice post! I used to live in Nha Trang. Where is this market in Viet Nam? As well I used to live in Penang as seems you are Malaysian? I learned enough Vietnamese to be able to bargain in the markets hehe... I loved the avocados as they are quite expensive in Thailand where I normally stay... Now I'll read about your bicycle experience as I'm a cyclist myself...

Thanks @chrisinphuket
This market is in District One, Saigon pretty near to where I'm staying now.
And yes, I am Malaysian but working in Vietnam now since last year. I haven't to bargain yet but understanding how much everything cost is the best I can do for now. At least, I know that to survive here :)
Fruits are exceptionally affordable when in season especially when it cannot be imported out.
I ate so many avocados until I got a bit sick of it. Now moving on to other cheaper seasonal fruits.
With the economy and expected global recession, I really have to take care of how much I spend daily.
How's things in Thailand? I heard it's also very strict now
Ah yes District One is lovely. I went to the War Museum. So different than the rest of HCMC. Things are good in Thailand. No not strict at all now. Just the economy is way down and people are suffering economically. But they will survive!
