Fast Fashion, Bubble Tea Madness Returns and Urban Tales Cholon

This week we begin (1:18) with a look at fast fashion in Vietnam in the wake of UNIQLO's announcement that it will expand to the country next fall. What does the arrival of brands like H&M, Zara and UNIQLO mean for local consumers? Then (12:14), we revive a game we played on one of our first episodes: Bubble Tea Shop, or Porno? Also, the bubble tea craze which swept into Vietnam last year has shown no signs of abating, but could this be a good thing for certain areas? Our interview guest (21:19) is Nicolas Plesse, the founder of Urban Tales Cholon. We talked about the logistics of running such a unique company, as well as his plans for regional expansion and what that could mean for tourism. As always, we end with Banh Mi Banter (34:00).
