Here's the information on the super/mini markets.
If anyone has newer or additional information, email it to me and I update
the list. Thanks in advance.
This post is primarily to publish the names, addresses, and phone numbers
of the mini/supermarkets I found out about, as I promised one of the
Australian correspondents on one of the VN news groups. (I apologize for
not remembering the correspondents name.) At the end, I added a book store
I liked.
If you go to any of these places, please tell them you heard about them on
the interment.

Comment: The comments are my personal opinion. Please remember my
comments are from a male, Caucasian, US citizen perspective. To
paraphrase the caution given in US TV commercials, "'Your perspective may
vary', depending on gender, ethnicity, and current country of residence.".
I've included only what are meant to be positive comments.
Note: Factual information.
InfoDate: Where I've included the "InfoDate" it's so you can take it into
consideration when evaluating the information. The date is in (one of)
the International Standards Organization (ISO) format(s). Viet Nam seems
to have come to the numbered months solution a long time before a lot of
other countries.
The date is in the form:
YYYYMMDD
| | |__2 digit Day of month, 01- 31
| |____2 digit Month of year, 01-12
|________4 digit Year
Example: Tet 1997 is 19970207
