So how good your wife cook?

She cooks well, but mainly for herself, I eat different food and I usually go to the noodle shop.

[Carlosa]

Yes, but she eats different foods and I don't need her to cook something just for me when I can go to my favorite noodle shop and eat a great Mi Quang dish for 20,000 dong.

If I were you, and want to be considered as simple guy, I would eat her style of food.
You don't wanna try, or you don't like them?

I don't like it for the most part and those foods are outside of what I eat.

Like I said, I'm 90% vegetarian (an chai). I don't eat chicken, beef, pork, seafood, etc. I do eat fish.

So who is thin?

 

[Carlosa]

So who is thin?

We all are, for now.

 

[liubang]

Really?
We used to buy at streetside market.

Base on my time in Vietnam, there is no group of people who I have the utmost empathy for than street vendors. I hope this news will help them and not destroyed all their livelihood.

I'de like to give you the case in my city, Wuhan, Central China.
Vendors used to sell stuff like this(today still some open markets in Wuhan but much less)

But now, mostly we buy fruit and vegetable in "standard markets", organised, cleaner, and under government's surveillance on prices and safety.

There are more than 300 "standard" indoor markets in Wuhan, and more filthy street markets will be upgraded. I don't see any signs that vendors are losing their consumers. A survey shows that 70% citizens in Wuhan regard traditional markets as their first choice(fruit, meat and vegetable). Markets and supermarkets complement each other if the government has formulated the right policies. The biggest competition in Wuhan is not between markets and supermarkets but between local supermarket, supermarkets from other provinces, and foreign supermarkets.

I see, I thought a corporation is taking over. When I was a kid, just looking at an old street vendor who can't sell a thing would made me really really sad. I would my mom to buy whatever random crap she was selling. Or people who carried ready to eat food on their shoulders walking all day under the sun and rain. Those sort of images are usually what I associated Vietnam with. Good honest folks trying to made a living. Some older folks maybe too old, too illiterate, or uneducated to change with the economy (my dad would come to mind, spent most of his youth in the jungle after all. The modern world probably wouldn't suit him). I just hope society don't forget about them.

The same happened in the USA. Of course, manufacture are shrinking. But some people have spent their life time in manufacture and can't cope with the change.
