Description

■ SAIGON, VIETNAM: Having broken the 10 million dong spending record at my favorite market in Saigon last year, I figured why not go even higher?

If I can spend US $400 in 90 minutes of speed shopping, surely i can spend $600 too? After I went to exchange American dollars into Vietnamese dong and ended up with 16 million(!) though I started doubting my shopping prowess.

Spending this amount in a market, which albeit expensive by local standards, is still fairly cheap given the amount at hand would be tough.

To spice up this market shopping excursion for you viewers and the vendors, I decided to add a twist.

Anyone who answers YES whenever I proclaim that their price 'IS AN OUTRAGE', wins US $100 instantly. Of course I wanted as many vendors to say YES as possible, but since they didn't know about this rule, how many did? 🤔
