In Viet Nam, a market is a trading place, but many markets are not only about buying and selling things.
They reflect the life of the community. A traditional market is a social gathering point for people of all ages and it is
a new and exciting experience for children, a trading place for local craftsmen, and a chance for young people to
meet. People go to the traditional market not only to buy and sell things but also to eat, drink, play games, and
socialize. For example, if you go to Sa Pa Market, which is the highlands in the north of Viet Nam, you can see
people wearing their nicest clothes and spending all day long at the market. They buy things, play the flute, dance,
and sing. This is also a time to meet, make friends or look for lovers. That is why this kind of gathering is also called
"Love Market”. Some other countryside markets in the Mekong Delta are held on boats. Most of the goods are sold
at a floating market. The most exciting time is in the early morning when boats arrive loaded up with agricultural
