    I have a pretty strong stomach, but I sometimes get concerned with street food. I've heard that the general rule is to eat at the busiest places. That way, they're clearing food fast, and it's not sitting.
    I almost wrote _busty_ instead of _busiest_ . Yes, it's great to find a food stall with busty women, too.

    Last Saturday night I went to Bui Vien Street and as a solo traveling guy it was a disappointment. I didn't see any ''crazy Saigon nightlife'' just groups of locals and a few backpackers sitting down and drinking beer. No action at all (except a handful of a-gogo bargirls doing their dances).

    Whoa, going thru the entire video and the entire list, only 2 I missed on my last 2 trips back in May and most recently in August are Bui Vien Street and Book Street. Need to visit these 2 when I am back in early October for sure. Stay cheerful bud!

    There are literally hundreds upon hundreds of these street food areas in the city, and we would love to learn all about them. Personally, I appreciate you vlogging about these spots,since it's so hard to find them through google.

    I just have to tell you I get hundreds off at Saigon Square. I was just there and they started at 800k on a fake Northface backpack. I got it for 200k. It’s an excellent fake. I get everything there and I get it all very cheap
