What should I buy from Vietnam?

[Skip87]

A close friend of mine is in Vietnam for a good amount of time. Is there anything I should ask him to pick up for me?

Suits, shirts, pants? etc..

snake wine will hurt your brain. But does act like viagra when consumed in quantity.

Guy I work with brought back 5 bottles of the snake wine

the coolest one was def the one that has a scorpion in the snake's mouth, looks pretty gruesome

and you can haggle that ****, he paid about $5 for each bottle, the average price being around 10-12.

Actually you are wrong. My wife is from Vietnam and she is quite a good surfer. Granted there are no waves in Vietnam but a trip to Sumatra solves that. Surfing is quite popular among those that can afford it.

OP: There is really nothing there in terms of clothing that you would like. If you were buying for a girl, you could get the Ao Dai.
There are a few tailors in Saigon, Hue and Hanoi. Wouldn't like it though.

They take it as a health tonic normally around Tet in order to cleanse their bodies of toxins.
