The first step into this shop, I can smell a very delectably smell comes from the aroma oil. Once I was in the shop, I was greeted by few pretty ladies who are really helpful and friendly.
Despite the shop small size and less number of display items, I found that most of the decorations stuff they display inside do really attract me. This is could be an ideal place for your home shopping or to get a gift for a friend house warming.
The vase sell in this shop are relatively expensive than in some other shops, but the better quality could really justify for the price. And what most important is most of these vase has an outstanding design.

Some people say that Ho Chi Minh city (Vietnam) is a shopping heaven, which I hope that this is true as I am going to be stationed here for 3 months. Well, SHOPPING is the only thing that I think can help me to kill my loneliness and to kick me alive in this place.
I stay in the Sofitel which is some distance away from the shopping area, but if I am willing to pay just USD1, the taxi will bring me to the city tourist shopping place – DONG KHOI. Walking on the street, I feel extremely excited 
.Wow, I just can’t wait to go in to the shops, some of the shops look so colourful from outside with its beautiful handicraft.
One of the shops that really attracted me here is the Bίch Lien . This shop sells variety of home decoration stuff ranging from the lacquer ware to antique. What is so special about this shop compare to other on the same street is that the price and the variety. If you are looking for a lacquer vase, dining ware or even antique decoration for your house this will be the place.
Unlike the other shops, the prices here are fixed. Maybe you have to pay slightly more, but you don’t need to get into bargain in a language that they might not really understand.
I have been hunting for so long for decorative to put on my TV bench in my new house and finally I found what I want here. Look at the wooden stork and the red round candle holder in the photo below. I paid only USD20 for all of these!
Value for $$ :
3/5 Worth the $$$. Probably you will have to pay more for the same thing in KL?
Approachability/ Friendliness of Staff :
2/5. Maybe because of the language problem
