- Ben Thanh Market - Part2, HCMC
(When we were here last year, we didn't know there was an F1 race right next to our hotel. It starts every evening at 7pm - when all the stalls rush out from the backlane into the main road beside this huge Ben Thanh Market to set up shop for the evening. It is quite a spectacle - those on motorbikes are the most skilful, being able to push our their stall using their legs - yes, while riding their bikes! This ritual has become a tourist favourite. If not for the cop that stands there at 6.30pm to stop any nonsense from happening, like rushing out before the stipulated time, who knows what chaos this corner of the city would turn into every night)
