Spent most of her time with her relatives in district 7. That's the area
where people are quite wealthy and can demand the best produce.

She also compared produce in Vietnam to produce in Thailand. Said that
Thai produce was an order of magnitude better than that available in
Vietnam. She compared produce from Jatujak Market in Bangkok to produce
from HCMC. It was disappointing for her really as she hadn't been back
for some time and was looking foreward to really good meals.
