roo di di, you won't go wrong shopping around Ben Thanh Market area to some ulu places to look for vintage pieces... inside the market a lot of fakes!

But, you can still get a lot of good food inside and just outside.... especially the paper rice snack (pack a punch simply request for more chilli)! Try the scorpion wine also sibei power.... ;)

The one in the watch case, no. The one from CEO in is the plastic Daiso box. Look closely you can see it. I have two, one for collection, one for wearing... although the one for wearing also seldom gets worn :lol:
