Sleep bus to Mui ne

Thursday, 17 July 2014 at 15:51 Phan Thiet http://maps.google.com?q=10.953028,108.213186+(Phan Thiet) Caught the sleep bus from Saigon to Mui ne, quiet an experience! No allocated seating or information about stops or how to get off. Seats are 3 across and 2 down and comfortable once I climbed into my ontop and at the right hand side window with Mark next to me in the centre. Driving is beep beep push Vietnamese style with biggest taking right of way. I used the seat belt as it may have prevented me from falling out. We travelled on some very new and also some incomplete major roads and many narrow back allies. This hotel is fine and clean witjout a view in our room despite being located at the beach.

Fabric in Hi chi minh city

Fabric in Ho chi minh city.
After much research by  wonderful Husband to find best market to buy fabric, I actually returned to the same maket we visited on city tour yesterday.  Binh Tay market. Stall holders ferreted deep into their small lair to discover  lengths lees than the standard 3.5 dress amount. I was able to somehow poorly ba4gin for 3x less than 1m , some about 1.5m and  about 8x 1m all for 1m vnd or $50. I was surprized a0by the speed and efficiency of bargaining and I  completed whole transaction in less than 20 minutes.  I would bought more except  I only 1m vnb with me and felt I had done well. I f lt I should have  shopped around more at another  market whih I knew to be 360 m away.
