The Heat is on in Saigon!

From my last post, which was 100 years ago.. (huhuhu) I posted some fun moments of our Singapore trip 2 years ago. Last Feb, we visited Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.




We st
ayed at Rex Hotel, which is located at the heart of the city. Walking distance to Ben Thanh Market (one of their most popular markets), malls and very near to Opera House.

We arrived at around 11AM (Vietnam time) then, we dropped off our luggage at the hotel and we went to PHO 2000 for lunch, our first meal in Vietnam. We ordered noodles, spicy noodles and other kind of noodles. I paid around 36,000 dong, not bad, their noodles are very good and authentic.



After lunch, we went back to the hotel to unpack our things. Our dinner or should I say cocktails was held at Vasco’s. More drinks, less food.



On our 2nd day, we went to Cuchi tunnel, there we need to literally crawl to pass through the tunnel. It was very sweaty, at first scary but I had a lot of fun :O)




On our last day, we went to Ben Thanh market to buy souvenirs and gifts for our loved ones back home, like shirts, bags and other cool stuffs.



Now, I'm wondering where our next trip would be... Hhmmm... :p
