What sort of country do you think this is? I understand that some American travellers head off without research but actually living in a country for a longer term at least deserves some research. (Stop the moans and groans - I hold an American passport)

With respect to Letrinh, the shops on Ham Nghi are expensive by about 10-15%.

Pure food/vegetarian/whatever: There are shops that offer well selected food stuffs but you pay for it.

Fresh meats: You won't want a 'fresh' VN chicken, as found in local markets, as they are not health inspected, are scraggy looking waifs with over-developed thighs.

The real fresh, never frozen meat is to be found in the Halal stores. Don't worry about the name, think good quality food.

These stores actually airfreight all manner of Australian and New Zealand produce straight into VietNam to their order. Halal customers are very, very particular. Deliveries can be arranged to your home.

I'm Canadian and understand what you expect. I buy general supplies from Co-op Mart supermarket (great prices subsidised by the city); more specialised lines from Giants supermarket (about 5-10% more expensive than Co-op) and meat and fish from Lotte Supermarket ONLY the Quan 10. Generally their prices are about 10% above Co-op BUT their meat and fish from this store are very good. I paid VND76,000 for a kilo of skinned chicken breasts and VND112,000/kilo for boneless pork chops only yesterday.

American foodstuffs: Available but at double the US price. Regular table size Kellogg's Cornflakes is around USD$5.

Aluminum foil, paper towels:, baggies, plastic garbage bags, etc - cheapest at Co-op. The different coloured garbage bags are intended to indicate size, not decor.

American 'cuisine': You can feast at McBarf's, KFC, Submarine, Starbucks (like taking coal to Appalachia), etc. But you pay for it in cost and quality.

The range of food is here, just the selection of varieties is restricted.

Banking: No questions about banking?
