Hi, I am hoping you can help me. i am writing a story about vietnam and want to know if there is a name for those baskets that some street vendors carry. The ones that hang from the stick across their shoulder. They look kind of like giant weighing scales.

I’d surely appreciate your help.

Cheers,
Dawn

Kevin, seems like you have a great life. Living in a relatively low cost of living place (did not think you pay too much for your flat). While i have to travel half way around the world to visit that place for a week or two.

@Anna: The street vendors I go to see me a lot so I get the fair price. I do listen too. Funny, this street vendor sells cafe sua da at 6,000 VND. The school, just across the street, sells them for 10,000 VND.

@Dominic: What is that drink again? Dr. Thanh?

@Tracy: Sometimes I do get sick from the cafe sua da but I think it is more the coffee than the ice.

Do you ever get sick from the cafe sua da? I heard that the water in Saigon takes a little getting used to.
