Viet Nam 10 talk (8)

From NHA to Ho Chi Minh City's trip to the overnight train people rarely, foreign tourists is 5, then bus companies are also selling tickets for the local people, but a total of only 4% of the attendance, the evening can let you sleep sideways on end.

As a result, I slept to automobile arrives at the Ho Chi Minh City, blurry thought it was the middle of the night into a gas station.

It was 5 am half.

The streets here also in deep sleep, stop only the clustered around a small number of motorcycle riders waiting for business.

I also have found on the LP a cheap bed hotel, in the famous Van 5 Argyle Street junction, think of the bus stop where it should be in the street nearby, so carry luggage, follow the map to find past.

Hotel downstairs is a travel agency, they reached for the door.

Asleep's waitress answered the door, it says sorry, no way, I'm so early to lodgers. On the floor, the room still gain weight, creep rest luggage, go downstairs and ran a cold, you go out.

Go for breakfast.

Because going to the war remnants Museum, so go out the door to that direction. The morning breakfast with many on the street, the main shop to sell bread and noodles. Found a little street of gear, see opposite people eat very foon, according to a copy of the sample, there are Tanghe powder, shrimp, pork, bean sprouts, coriander, and additional to the copy of the meat a bone, the taste is very tasty, 10,000 shield.

Full went to talk to the Notre Dame Cathedral and the large post offices.

Friends have recommended, should have to go to the Notre Dame Cathedral, because of its red-brick house in Chaoyang is very eye-catching. But today is cloudy, there is no sun, and only in Europe see countless churches, on the French architectural thoughts and feelings is not big, go back and forth in a circle, the feeling with the Shanghai Sheshan's Cathedral, came out.

But the church next to the post office makes me feel more attractive.

Post Office-Green and White exterior, there is a magnificent French glass dome, getting two side of the wall hangs when France staff sketch map of Saigon. The post office entrance station full of bustling tourists. I ran to the small selling products counter, bought a postcard. Buy stamps, passing asked staff, when you can mail to China, the answer is 2 weeks, startled, fingers, journey ends in Hanoi, send me a postcard hasn't reached home.

Out of the post office, to walk a few blocks to go to war remnants Museum, in fact, you can hire a pedicab, but too lazy to bargain battles, so excuse me own 11 road tram.

Museum than I thought to small lot, very simple, only one of the topics described — let the Viet Nam people proud of the United States and Vietnam war.

The Museum is actually around the cottages for the exhibition, in the middle of open space for parking at those left by the US military aircraft, artillery, tanks. When the US suffered from Viet Nam and lush tropical jungle, thus sowing the defoliant, which led to the emergence of a large number of malformation. Now in many parts of Viet Nam, or you can see that some have adult victims. The Museum has a few, they see Europe and foreigners, the initiative looks into conversation.

Since this time has past noon, the weather was warm, the Museum only fan, no air conditioning, I really uninterested.

Go to bought a coconut, unfortunately there is no spoon, but don't touch the coconut meat, it is regrettably had to throw it.

Along the way when you come back around, passing some famous building in Sai Kung, such as the Town Hall, the State Opera House, Dong Khoi and Le Loi street there are many nice handicrafts shops, clothing stores and cafes.

And then went to Ben Thanh market.

Its size with the Russia market almost in Phnom Penh, a large shed, 7, 8 entrances.

Because it is frequented by local people, so it sold the bazaar of what is, and eat, drink, cooked and raw, see, used, worn, this charming, exceptions, it is said that here you can buy everything you want to buy things, they venture aims, we don't have is that you don't need. Just in such a climate, grown only fan cooling, not much later, I had already sweating.

Back to the hotel, a call to the South in Ho Chi Minh City Office, confirm the ticket the day after tomorrow.

And to counter booked tomorrow to go to the Mekong River tour. In fact, go to the Mekong River, many days, and around the ancient Shiba Sai Road, what it is I want to go, but it is time to time have been used to do, no way.

Prepare to rest, on the floor and then go out late at night to see Sai.

House encounters a Canada Vancouver to a middle-aged man, he worked at the city library, and then has three years to retirement, a generous pension.

His work 4 days a week, a few years there will be a long vacation, precisely because the job of the treatment is so good, that he is 18 years of age has been engaged in the occupation. Now he is to his eight-week long vacation, because there is plenty of time, so he had no concrete plans, along with the decisions of their itinerary.

I also envy!

There is more to my mouth, he even piracy don't have to buy the LP, his latest printed edition from his work in the municipal library.

Good one place!

Go out to dinner, suddenly found the street have a lion dance, gongs and drums, hilarious exception, dawned, today is the last one in 2004.

Hotels near an alley has designated a walking Street, a good market, is selling all kinds of food and small stuff, the restaurant on both sides of the street have moved to the tables and chairs outside, waiters are busy attracting the passers-by in the past. Crowds, the more it is a bit old.

At this point the lion also staged to the climax.

Site put up two tall bamboo, 2, 3-story building. The original master of the Lion went all ten-year-old kid, I saw a red lion dance his head, another clown monkeys, two-person section section of bamboo, climb in pole-top for some high difficulty, underneath the Gong also play very wellknown, really a bit of a movie"Lion", the surrounding populations are loud applause.

I squeeze in the crowd, chewing a revisit of potato chips, watching people of various nationalities around, reveling in the oriental tradition of new year celebration in color.

Must now of Shanghai is also the same lively cafes.
