Not long ago, open-air markets played an important part in the lives of the Vietnamese.
Wherever there was open space, the local people could start their own market. There, you
could find almost everything from local home-made and home-grown products to those that
the sellers bought wholesale from somewhere and resold them for a profit. Since the locals
went there nearly every day, they knew one another, and the sellers even remembered the customers’ preferences.
Then supermarkets came and soon became popular. There are many reasons to explain their
popularity. First, they offer a cool and large shopping site. Shoppers can spend hours in them
without worrying about heat or rain. Second, they provide shoppers with a wide range of
goods, from foods and kitchenware to cosmetics and pet care products. People do not have to
move from shop to shop to collect all the things they need. Nowadays, many supermarkets
even offer home delivery service and online shopping, which makes shopping even easier.
