The Grocery Comes to You!

Well, more accurately, would be "the fruit market comes to you!" Everyday, we find amazing locally grown fresh tropical fruits from the fertile Mekong Delta region, in the south of Vietnam, and lovely fresh berries from the Central Highlands area, being sold by people on their bicycles. They have very large baskets attached, not to the front but, to the back of their bikes holding the fruit. Sometimes they bike around the city and we flag them down, other times they line up in a row on busy streets during rush hour and people on their motorbikes just pull over and buy some from them quickly- then take off... This is fast food the healthy and fun way! (they also carry little portable low tech scales for the fruit)
