Today a lot of us went to the Ben tham market which was nothing like anything I’d ever seen before. From the second I walked in I was getting grabbed by the shop owners asking to buy their merchandise. It got to a point where I was getting frustrated that I was getting asked so much. The market though was crazy. There were hundreds of different shops all packed into such a tiny area. We had one of the students from Saigon tech go with us and help us bargain with the shop owners. The student also told us about how everything is fake and that they just put emblems of name brand items on regular items. I couldn’t believe how that would be legal to do but apparently everyone was doing it. After it all I ended up with a couple of different things. I got a very cheap knock off jersey, an authentic Vietnamese hat, a fan, and a little chest. After buying all of those things I also only spent like 25 American dollars as well. Being in this market was something I’ll always remember because it seriously was so cool.
