1 thought on “Shopping in Go Vap District, Saigon

  1. It’s always been my interest to hang around the shopping center without purchasing anything. I have already visited Vincom Plaza Phan Van Tri, and it’s really nice. Now my next targets are Emart and Lotte Mart, since I love Korea- related stuff and your photos are so tempting :))).
