Ho Chi Minh City 4 days (1)

25/12/08

Ride the Tiger Airlines (Tiger Airways) early machines from Singapore and flew a Ho Chi Minh City, which is a lot of people in Saigon.

To the airport, customs, turning right at the entrance hall, a 2-minute walk, you can reach the domestic terminal.

Here you can wait for the bus No. 152, directly to us to Saigon city along Pham Ngo Lau. There is a concentration of tourists, the famous Ben Tanh market, Cathedral, post office, Rex Hotel, independence Palace and City Hall are 15-20 minute walk.

We were accommodated in the hotel, Hotel Hotel AnAn2 AnAn's branch, Pham Ngu Lao Street junction of De Tham road trailer.

The whole road is a travel agency, our hotel has a home here.

Staying at the hotel, we will walk to the nearby Ben Tanh market.

It sells a wide variety of things, clothing accessories, Clunas, coffee beans, cooked food stalls. Let's eat beef powder and dried shrimp powder, then drink a cup of coffee in Viet Nam, the famous. Is a company called the dangkou drink Oanh, very strong OH. Beef and rice and shrimp powder are intended for tourists, but the soup base sweet, plus a pile of fresh bean sprouts, still well worth trying.

Next to Don THat Thiep road find Fanny ice-cream shop.

Wrote it Durian and coconut ice-cream is very famous. Ice cream in a compact tricycles, very popular coconut ice-cream is very rich!, don't be too rich for me just fine.

Next stop the war remnants Museum.

Ho Chi Minh City Museum is to give people a feeling of Buddhist downs, the aftermath of the atmosphere is still very strong. Maybe in a few years, the national strength, it will be followed by other local attractions no different. The Museum exhibits, but the original war prison barracks, guillotine, prisoners, are preserved. Although no guided tours, but we still feel in a picture to the left of the horrors of war.

Walk 10 minutes to the Cathedral and post office.

Day of the dark. Then the guide said, December to February is the dry season, the winter North will have air invasion brought the rain Corporation. The Cathedral we just around took some photos, and then on to the post office from the rain. Here's a postcard and stamp are quite worthy of collection. Postcard photos are the most economical method. This and many famous tourist cities of postcards have differences.

In the evening, we went to Dong Khoi Nguyen next Thiep alley of Lemongrass restaurant.

Said is Viet Nam cuisine, but later eat more approachable and cooking practices are more authentic and less fancy of even more impressed. And many of the advanced restaurant, offering up food brackish is moderate, not too hot, the atmosphere is elegant and quiet, but cannot feel: this is Sai!

Walking back to the hotel, met a Trung Nguyen Viet Nam Cafe, is the most famous coffee shop chains.

Price compared to ordinary Viet Nam coffee expensive several times, but really worth it. A selection of coffee and great, also recommended to eat some sandwiches, snacks, but don't try their cheese cake. Shop also sells local products in Viet Nam and cups of coffee powder.
