■ HANOI, VIETNAM: Markets are fun both for making videos , bargaining and buying antiques. Shops however are an entirely different beast. They offer a less entertaining experience as they are a more serious and formal place of business. But on the upside they generally offer higher quality products and pricier items on sale. You can find a handcrafted specialty product or a genuine antique item with serious history behind it you can value for the rest of your life.

Walking around window shopping in Hanoi I noticed many unique antique stores plus local handicraft outlets. I figured this might be a good setting for the priciest Vietnam shopping video to date.

So out I went locked and loaded with The Federal Reserves in hand
