He scared me at first! Then they got in. Lots of people, lots of stuff. Noisy. Almost everywhere you need to bargain. And where it says "fixed price", the price is fixed, it's much calmer there. In places where they are traded, the sellers are very annoying, noisy, but I can also say very attentive, as soon as the eye stops at some thing, they will immediately bring it and almost forcefully try it on. For some reason, they also think that if you have any thing (for example, it is dressed on you), then you definitely need to buy another one of the same, or approximately the same. Initially, the sellers set a huge price, but later, if you somehow start bargaining, they can throw off as much as 3 times, and they will run after you with a calculator and shout if the man is "male!", or the woman - "madam! ". We were additionally called "mafia" when they decently threw off their price tag. In addition to things, souvenirs, fabrics, etc., you can buy tea and coffee of any kind, vegetables, fruits, spices. By the way, right on the market you can hem and even sew things for yourself. They hem within 10-15 minutes, I didn’t sew things for myself there, but they say that within 2-3 days, it can, of course, be faster. You can also eat at the market. Modestly.

))) Elena, you were not called names, you were given a compliment, the ability to bargain causes their respect.
In the evening, from 7 o'clock, when the market itself closes, the "Night Bazaar" unfolds modestly around, impromptu restaurants open nearby - "everything is on the grill." But you can find the most interesting goods not in the Night Bazaar itself, but in the side streets that branch off from the market. Don't worry - it's safe, just watch your wallet - it's Saigon after all! Clothes, shoes of all sizes, even winter ones. Enjoy the shopping!

That's exactly what I meant! The girl told us: "UUUUU Maffia!" it was funny. We still remember. At the end of November we will visit this market again!
