Shopped till I dropped!

Shopkeeper & Mum at Cho An Dong































I had my teeth 'cleaned' for 100k. Dad did 4 fillings for 300k.




















This is 700k/kg































The biggest joke was when she bought 200g of bird's nest from Cho An Dong, thinking it's 500,000VND/100g - so cheep, cheep, cheep (ie S$43.50/100g)!!! Turned out to be 5,000,000VND/100g (S$435/100g) - shopkeeper thought Mum made her day!! Unfortunately for her (and fortunately for us), we don't even have that much money on us, let alone buy it.
