A glance at the Saigon

Companies selected in the Ho Chi Minh City, Viet Nam (used to be called Sai) convened a meeting of the Asia-Pacific region this year, a very important reason is that there is cheap. As early as the end of last year I heard bosses in Hainan, China and Viet Nam between left and right balance. In the end, we went to Ho Chi Minh. Cheap of course there is also a cheap price, that is the complex traffic routes. In fact, Shanghai Airlines, had opened a direct route of Ho Chi Minh City, Shanghai, the company must make most people Rao road, Guangzhou, diverted to the destination. Originally, the transfer is tired because of the need to consider many factors, such as in the Middle, baggage storage and extraction, customs delays and, of course. It should be said, Guangzhou New Baiyun Airport is one of the modern airport, however the service was not satisfactory. First, the huge airport, indicates that the system is not clear. Huge electronic display only flights gate, actually not do ticket counters. Hard to find tickets for the counter, the Office of slow Yes, really, and other popular Coke. Then, find the security gate, and can easily be wrong, because you sure no instructions. Most can not stand is that the security check. Nor is it the first time sit for international flights, but this time can only be used to describe security metamorphosis. Guangzhou airport actually require visitors to both men and women, shoes off and remove the belt, and then through the security doors. It's a bit excessive, incomprehensible. Also some of the worst such as incredible price, airport shops, airport to the boarding gate by the channel, not hear airport special broadcast, etc. Anyway, Guangzhou airport can only be used to describe a duplicitous. Many institutions or places to Hong Kong or the world famous facilities or agencies as the goal, claimed to surpass. I see you again, self-strengthening "don't be so aggressive," because even if the likeness, practicing the likeness have decades of time. Of course, our "good neighbor" of the officers, is also worth bearing in mind, they are very "professional". Other small airport, clean and tidy, the impression you can still see through the glass lounge room is playing the Chinese TV dramas Viet Nam dubbing. Arrived at the customs, we completed the immigration card, began a long wait. Vietnam customs personnel, wearing grass green uniforms hats aside, and the armed police in China ten years ago, amazing similar uniforms. The only difference is that the uniform of officials, one look arrogant, like the queued for all those who wish political asylum refugees left disc right asked, doesn't make sense. Some of my colleagues are very impatient, however, they also asked for the hotel address issues such as the tireless; officials with our Chinese passports, in the light of repeated checksum, Visa also repeated checksum, lest this into a killer jiangyangdadao, or drug lords, each time through the need, at least five minutes. My turn, Passport scanner n times, VISA at n times, at last use do not know what the language sounds tries to read my name, I corrected him, and so the n times passport, I was released. Out of the airport, my God, an entire train station square. China City Airport gate, has never been so lively, various modes of transport, such as various strangers, gathered in the airport Plaza. We are not interested to see who is interested to look round the Billboard, Viet Nam also innovation and opening up, the introduction of many foreign investment, foreign electronic Enterprise commercials. By bus through the streets in the size of the bustling city, Viet Nam, in our eyes, is declared the clouds, because we would have seen 20 years ago, so shapes, but the time is near, now abroad. Pass railway, familiar railing down later, a blue train too, we cruise car cheers, everyone is talking about her, might this car only abroad only, extincted in China. The entire way of feeling like decades ago in a small city in the South of China, the housing construction without planning, high and low. Good in environmental health is really good, very clean streets, which impressed us. Or stop by some Western-style building, everyone is carefully watched because coexistence, is precious, and interesting. When the car passed by a hex field, we see our forthcoming admission to the hotel, the new world hotel, five-star hotel. This is said to be a Saigon earlier completion of five-star hotel, is the first County Center, opposite the door is a large green space, while the nearby, the famous sea bin Cheng market (we call it stupid market, due to the English pronunciation) and a square. Consequently, the geographical position is good. Boss Hotel door with a smile, but we are not out, catch a 10 hour before coming here, tired, of sorts. Room was good, relatively large, and the facilities is good. Two days of intense and busy will open up, open every day to half past seven in the collection, and then go to dinner, go back to the hotel almost eleven. The first day after the meeting, Viet Nam branch colleague organization we go there is a famous tourism reservation program, Bonsai River Cruise, because there's a Sai Sai River longitudinal wear urban, imagine might be and Shanghai Pujiang night almost program. Unexpectedly, the entire three-hour trip, black, I have a few light road lighting. We ship to listen to singing, look at the dance, eat, and nothing else, Hey, this is also called retention program. The second day, evening, in a House called 24-hotel dining, there is a small house in France-style, with a courtyard, unfortunately it is a smaller place, 150 personal support, general feeling. However the food fairly can, ate some of the delicacies of Viet Nam, is not white. Several colleagues take a clearance for a visit at noon Kung famous Central Post Office, I didn't go because I know that time is sufficient to meet the meeting, don't think about anything else. The next day, the Conference ended on schedule, in the restaurant from 24 back to the hotel, I began to do his homework, for the third day of our own, the company will organize two attractions to visit, and the remaining free activities, you can plan. By virtue of hotel front desk to obtain a free map and myself in Shanghai do some homework, identified several famous attractions and sites in Taobao hotel nearby walking 20 minutes, a joy. On the third day, the company agreed departure time is six points from nine o'clock, I very earlyAfter the breakfast, called the taxi to Notre Dame Cathedral and the Central Post Office. Went there are going to, first, to a city and experience the style and the second, after all, not very familiar with the road, you can at least know how to go to the road, the third, I want to save time. At six o'clock arrived at the square in front of the Church of Notre Dame. Watch the morning light irradiation in the south facade of the Church, a divine sense. Books and movies have seen Notre Dame, this seems to be narrowing the Edition, the same solemn. All because of the facade is a red brick, also known as the Red Church. Kindly Virgin stands in the square, blooming flowers, a serene. A young girl selling postcards to Viet Nam. She is seen I do not have to go to the post office and came to me. I spend a dollar bought a copy in the post office only needs $ 0.4 postcards. She and I talked a few words about this city. She also helped me to take a photo, I am very satisfied with this picture, it seems that they must be doing more of this, the camera class. Then, I walked into the Central Post Office. The Central Post Office is a beautiful colonial building, left by the beautiful Vault. The outside looks, dignified, gorgeous. Go into the post office, hanging from Viet Nam Ho Chi Minh President of color portrait. On both sides, on the outside are some long-distance telephone booths, above the wall, there are two sites is said to be hand-drawn map of Saigon and Cambodia, deserves careful watching. Inside the middle is a philatelic counters on postal counters. Buy postcards, stamps, sat on the bench and began to write postcards. Sunlight, just one by one from the vault at the bottom of the window of the room slowly transmission. At this point the mood was great. The postcard input mailbox, my feelings have solidified in that piece of paper. Step out of the post office, in the nearby streets, slowly, to see a lot of Socialist shadow, banners, posters, although it is not know, however, so familiar, because we have as well. The main entrance of the Notre-Dame a week to spare, I suddenly discovered that the door was open, in a look. Altar hangs high, stands. See the morning sun with stained glass and glass story, very exciting and unique. I went to every city, like in the streets, roads, for a walk. There is the locomotive of the world, almost invisible bike. Dressed in soft green uniforms of policewomen, direct traffic, crossroads to fulfill. Roadside fruit and breakfast hawker, are busy with their own businesses. Le Le Street all the way to sell crafts and are souvenirs shops, under gonglue find has the most complete Tintin series lacquer painting shops, 90,000 shield did two A4 sized paint painting. However, despite this point before eight o'clock, I was already had, after all this sweat is tropical, hot day of 33 degrees. Company organization of tour seems to be familiar, but has long experience of patriotism. We visit the reunification Palace and war victims Museum. For all Chinese colleagues, this is familiar with. Thought is also very interesting, exotic, but also the access to education. Noon lunch can be described with a stunning, eats beef noodle PHO24, chain stores, there are many branches. I asked for a bowl of juice beef meal, rice flour, doing a smooth feel ultra better portal. Beef is tender and very fragrant. Most deserve is the soup base, Southeast Asian colleagues in a sweet miso soup and sauce, there are many fresh fragrance leaves, I could not, I want to taste, that's right, it is unforgettable, MSG is not absolute. There is also the next mango juice is also derived from the full weight, eating fruit, and inexpensive. Free time in the afternoon are, but because it is too hot, we all look a few blocks of famous buildings, shop around, scouring-scouring article features fun for me. And colleagues in collective activity, or interesting. Our Socialist neighbors, but also constantly developing towards the front, you can see the prosperity of the tourism economy and ongoing progress of city construction. Although I said before, planning should be improved, however, the country and the city is an open attitude to face the world. For a week, I'm still looking forward to my postcard, this efficiency is low, however, there is expects always a good thing.
