Vietnam/Cambodia Laos travel (7) on 31 January-2 February: Saigon

"I know you, always remember you.

At that time, you are so young, everyone said you are, now, I might be to tell you, for me, I think now you even more beautiful when I was younger, then you are a young woman, and you then look, I love you more is torn face now. ”

Want to come to the bus Sinh Café into Saigon (Saigon), the car will certainly someone with a variety of different language meditation these sentences.

Remember, as desperate as the rainy season of desperate to no end. This is a suitable, Sai Kung, memories, or only for the memories of the city, even with her name.

31, 1: 30 left us, not long endure to bid farewell to the sea, towards Sai.

In fact, 5 point number entered the city, but this is the largest city in Viet Nam, the speed is slower. 6 points to get to the old Pham (Pham Ngu Lao) Office of Sinh Café, is its headquarters, than other parts of the Office are Grand.

Sai is France people planning out of the city, more than 600 million people spread in to 1-17 of 17 named district ("Quan" interpreters "County", but I still think it translated as "region" more appropriate) and five local old named suburbs, is Paris reprint, known as the "Paris of the Orient" is unworthy of vain, and the other is a bit like Paris attractions is different.

Accommodation in the Hotel Café diagonally opposite Sinh 191-193, $ 18/day, from the spacious balcony looking: T.

M. Brother ' s Café, the Café, travel agency of Hanh open bus regardless of time and access the Bardo filed are set to go to, unknown number dream of backpackers. They remove the baggage, back up large packages, view the tour book, for free maps, discuss, go go down, how rich vitality and enthusiasm of young people feel that this world is so full of hope.

At night, the street was noisy, next to the famous "Go go 2" and "Crazy Buffalo" nightlife street motorcycle almost around the clock, I feel this vibrant country, more than in mainland China have the potential, their population is younger, more passionate, government regulatory relaxation, air cleaner, low cost.

Chen Shui-bian of Taiwan southward, the call to ask his motive, that is the meanest people (not to mention the man is a villain or a gentleman, because we don't know), the single largest investment perspective.

February 1, took part in the Organization of TNK Travel Club (Mekong) Mekong River tour, the main street of the tourist offer of $ 10, $ 8 back streets offer advertising is "same same, but cheaper," really fun.

In fact, had twice the experience of participating in the tour, it said, I fully believe that only large groups to separate into mission, social whatever you reported what generally are finally together, regardless of which agency's mission, lines and content is no big difference.

At home I never like to participate in any one day tour, seems to be routinely means: you get up early detonation, vulgar or exaggerated to the nonsense of historical geography and customs, compression of attractions, non-stop sweating and implied warranties, express, if the package is the restaurant meal a mess and not package meal than meals because you have wits with guided tours, ...

This kind of tourism really don't know what's interesting. In Viet Nam in 3 times a day but are very interesting: us-mountain tour guide English is poor, but quietly watching King, did not sell after dinner drink, quiet to the lovely little village, still quite the day may be pondering; NHA four Island Tour, of course, is a classic, so cheap price, then the passion of tour guides and the crew, so pure sea, you crave?

Mekong tour is no exception, the tourist doorway in the morning to the bus came there, had an hour to a travel articles shops, and other three got up late and missed the car tourist taxi Chase, another hour to 70 km outside of the destination of My Tho (meitao).

In the heyday of the Khmer Kingdom, Viet Nam's Mekong Delta is not a land (of course was not today's Viet Nam, just north of Vietnam and South of Champa) until it generally will North Korea Nguyen here into the master.

Mekong River flows through the 4000 km, here becomes more open, river branch such as mesh, so in Viet Nam in the territory is also called "Jiulong River". This total is divided into 13 provinces, meitao is one of the former River (upper river), the capital of the province, population of 10 million, is 1680, Qing army in Taiwan are from Taiwan's "do not eat out millet" political refugees in the establishment of the city, the name "beautiful city", sounds like he is Taiwanese dialect; the region is another pretty town River cents (Ha Tien) 1670, Guangzhou collapse of another group of Daming adherents of Mac Cuu and his followers, and by the people of the geographic concepts, here is the end of the Earth. Foot see River shunshui story happening everywhere.

By meitao tourist pier disembarked, the Mekong River.

The River is open, many villagers living in the River, with floating barrels as were undermined, they brought, kitchen and floating, now is the dry season and rainy River storm overflows and circumstances?

Riverside Park-the size of the vessel, the bow painted concise OWL eyes, all colors are visible; cross-strait backd, but suddenly see a boat or ship from the "Bank" on the side of the River heading out, I thought it wasn't the Mekong River, just a branching of side, many times, casting doubt on the immediate cross-Strait is true, the Mekong River is wide.

The river winds and waves of small, often flew into the cabin, take pictures of visitors with care; thus driving more than half an hour, and slowly turn into a branching of the other side of the River, and finally stopped, from a wood of plank road sent us on a small island.

Through the

Tall coconut trees and shade is a banana tree, everyone on the island, with lunch, visitor automatically sit down by nationality. Not much of a fried noodles, son doesn't like it, then pick the longan tree all tastes; island two twos on the toilet door could not be disturbed, inside of a white woman, came out at a loss.

Restaurant beside the grass roof putting them on the tableware of areca nut wood is very delicate, down $ 1 of 2 wooden shovel and 1 the wooden spoon didn't buy I still regret.

After dinner and cruise to the opposite of coconut Island, here is a tour of the peak.

First visited the coconut sugar production process, it is said that this is Tre (Ben Tre) province is Viet Nam's largest coconut sugar production areas, but here is the output of 70 per cent of the province. Son hate cannot give birth to 4 hands to eat sugar, in fact the coconut oil and coconut here SOAP must also be natural high-quality, but hesitate to don't know how to use, just bought a bag of sugar; bees exhibit more color, tour guides from the hives took out a plate of bees, we encouraged their suit, the son and his wife-hand side children hold up, recall some scared if he should dispose of a nervous, incurred by the bees attack is also entirely possible that the child is not a small courageous; climax appears in a snake's appearance, Thailand, India Tourism reservation here accidentally met: master will it to one scared visitors neck, it was a photo of a kiss, his son and wife took a back. But all the tourists most surprised I thought or see a Chinese woman from hives stolen out of beehives to feed to the son to eat, a pianer another pianer for, at that time, the surrounding full of eyes, silence, because it is most likely to provoke a bee behavior.

From here, walk along the beautiful quiet Island, walking a delicate grass Hall, here for postprandial fruit and tea, listening to the "Southern modified", seems to be better than Hanoi water puppet show to listen to the music rhythm more slowly and more painful to some, the performance of the truck's Japanese tour guide and the island of a man and a woman and two singers.

Three old men's gymnastics-guitar (chord one root and piano on several holes), amended version of the Chinese lute and Vietnamese Edition erhu accompaniment, intermediate carers also maintain an iron metronome. Viet Nam song lyrics, of course, is incomprehensible, that tall male singers I thought sings best, one with the music, not distracting, the pronunciation of the wind, the tour guide series, his defiant stand aside.

Listening to music, we voluntarily paid some tips that will follow the path of return travel.

A car full of green coconut shell car aroused the interest of the son, you're dog stands in the quiet and beautiful court yard gate, staring into the distance.

Towards a narrow river, from here we have only 4 people in a canoe, before and after a boatman, wearing their shade, on the water "coconut" restaurant in little river branch, and traveling.

This is the last project, the question to the shore, took a bus on his way back to 7000 more shield a huge coconut, his first drink the juice not finish it.

2 February in Viet Nam was the last day, stroll in Saigon.

Out of the hotel and turn right along the main Sai Dai Lo Le Loi Street to the North-East, is the city centre. Walks through the confusion of Penang market (Cho Ben Thanb) blocks, not far away is the Rex hotel and Town Hall (Ubnd Thanh Pho), a small Street between feast for the eyes. Rex hotel is a former u.s. military personnel of the shelter behind, some Las Vegas style fancy United States, and the Town Hall is typical of France colonial style, just didn't like the style of Louis XIV, broad momentum; the Town Hall of Ho Chi Minh statue in front of the name "Bac Ho," which I guess is "Uncle", Hu he loves people, such as child styles, there is no mass after the founding of the CPV in bucket, it seems that few people in the heart of hatred; the end of this street is the same style of Opera France (Nha Hat Thamh Pho), beautiful door on little angel hand touching the harp-like to flying.

Turn right at the front by the Town Hall, on and around to the left, is known for the Gallery, short street hawkers sell notes to $ 100 starting price, $ 4 sold me a Vietnam-Cambodia's old notes, this drop was erratic.

Short street end is Notre Dame Cathedral (Nha Tho Duc Ba), next to the Church is another colonial architectural styles of the post office (Buu Dien), send a postcard 12000 more shield.

Think of Nha four island tour band sang the first song, we wrote the "Vietnam Forever."

The mosaic in the Church seems to be better than Hanoi Saint Joseph Cathedral is exquisite.

Son carefully enquired about a "priest", on the origin of Jesus "to your left, the right cheek face also gave him" very shocked to learn about the latest Shanghai homicide victims ' families in Germany prayer for murder after that understand the significance of this lesson.

Reunification Palace (Dinh Thong Nhat) not far from here, the original France House had gone, the new Palace is a stay of Viet Nam designers work, Viet Nam and France two styles.

Refined iron gate is very spacious, extensive lawn in front of the Palace, building around the garden surround, cobblestone.

Here in fact is the South Vietnamese President and Administration Center, building four walls of your spinal column and even a little central Angkor.

North Vietnamese attack the day here is investing record: stop on the lawn is said to be discharging door and two tanks, roof helipad on military helicopters also let people recall the Wu Ting of defectors.

On the first floor of the building is still as the enterprise public relations activity places, some are like that in the great Hall of the people, visit begins from the second floor, the President of the Office, at home, library, library, cafeteria, etc., and embossed Viet Nam history, the myth of murals, cutlery, etc, staggeringly; basement is strategic command center, siege of cornered, but South Vietnamese regime actually died in the fighting, this utterly, what's the use of the basement?

Leave the unity Palace break to second to the right back, his wife suddenly Street discovered it

In the well-known chain stores "Pho 24", this chain store seems to be the local middle-class party place looked a few table are pretty girls.

Speaking in Viet Nam for half a month, the girl seems to be much higher than the proportion of the Mainland.

They generally do not fat, not the bloated discomfort when worn, Dai, the body beautiful, flowing in the wind, although not high, but the legs are long, mostly with almond-shaped eyes, it's not hard to Jolly mildly; no matter what their side of the man, with a total feel not value: Viet Nam man is too general.

To go back to old street Pham, accidentally discovered the Hindu temple of Mary Kalimantan (Mariamman), Temple, may still be able to explain to the son of the most basic Hindu gods image.

In Viet Nam's last day so slowly ablation, back to the room lay out of the Sun, they want to see the Saigon River sunset. Corner of his wife and found a "Space", a Yogurt petty bourgeoisie of the shop, and the morning Tours Les Jours bakery just the same, there are 200 qianyue shield without flowers, here eating ice-cream-style yogurt spent half that is happy. To see the sunset is a night view, you don't need to go to Sai River; besides mosquitoes may is ready?
