Listen "Convenience Stores Take Over Saigon; Social Media Literacy"
Episode Synopsis
On this week's episode, we take a look ̣(1:09) at the explosive growth of convenience stores throughout Saigon in recent years. It's hard to walk 10 feet these days without tripping over a Family Mart, VinMart or similar competitor. What does this mean for traditional corner shops? (Also why is Hanoi's convenience store game so bad?)
Then (15:48), we discuss social media literacy, especially among older people, many of whom went from not having the internet straight to having Facebook. What should be done to ensure that people use Facebook and other platforms safely?
As always, we end with Bánh Mì Banter (27:06).
