What $14 Buys in Rural Vietnam | Bus, Doctor & Market Day

What $14 Buys in Rural Vietnam | Bus, Doctor & Market Day real life in VietNam ------------------------------------- Today I'm not carrying goods to the market to sell. I'm taking my four-year-old son Thịnh into town — a doctor for the rash he's had all week, and then the biggest market in our district. A 40 km bus ride costs 35,000₫ (about $1.40). The doctor's full prescription: 300,000₫ (about $11). A new pair of sandals for Thịnh: 40,000₫ (about $1.50). But the moment I'll remember from this day wasn't for sale. At the market gate, a 72-year-old veteran sits cutting keys. He lost his right arm in the war. He receives a state pension — and every morning he still chooses to work. Come and walk the market with us.
