Vienglish is a term used by many of my friends to show the mix between languages, and perhaps cultures. This new meld between English and Vietnamese represents my life in Ho Chi Minh City where my culture and beliefs effect how I see and understand the new world around me. Vienglish, my travel blog is an outlet for me to share with others my experiences here in Vietnam and my passion for great food!

Cholon - District 5

Cholon, otherwise known as the chinese area is a major area that I have yet to explore. So far I have ventured to the Anh Dong Market which sells purses, cloth, food, religious articles (incense, paper money), household goods on the first floor and the second floor is mainly toiletries. The center of the market has a fountain and bonsais.

District 5 is also a big area for spices and chinese medicine. There are numerous 'doctors' you can visit to get an analysis of your health. Among the things they sell are large horns, claws, cinnamon bark, giant mushrooms, seahorses, and the list goes on and on.
