I don't know why many crazy for Pho, ... LOL
we have been using Pho everyday as breakfast, lunch or dinner.
So we consider it just like any fast food.
There're Pho 1.20 ; 2.5 ; 50 dollars... but average 1.50-1.70 in Vietnam
For westerners Pho is quite different and unusual and we are not used to rice noodles, it really taste different than any western food.
I eat the local version that is typical of central Vietnam (Mi Quang) everyday and I never get tired of it, usually with snake head fish (ca loc).
Same area in another place is only $25,000-40,000.
You must be more shocked if you know Vietnamese still could pay for such a house, studying their income... LOL.
Let try to figure out how, a guy with $500 salary could afford for luxury house and car.
It's possible.
Yes, I don't know how they do it, but they do it.
I can also say that there is quite a bit of people in Vietnam with a lot of money and quite a growing middle class in the main cities. This may not be easy to understand for people that are not used to Vietnam, but its true.
What @ComradeNam said about a lot of people running a cash economy that is not reported is true.
