Buzzling Ho Chi Minh
Posted On Wednesday, March 14, 2007 at at 12:26 AM by AlvinWe found Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) to be a city buzzing with life (and motorbikes !). We spent an eventful 3 days here, buying a few nice tee-shirts, having a few Vietnam drip-drip coffee and visited a few wartime museums which showed the atrocities during the American War (Man ! There were some major bombings around here !)
We also took the Number 1 bus to Cholon and visited some of Mandy's very very distant relatives - well, they seemed to live in a Chinese Quarter much like any China Towns the world over. We said our quick Hello ( and Goodbye) and went back to the Saigon district to sample the delights this up-and-coming city has to offer. We were planning to travel north up to the beach side resort town of Mu Nei, spend a few days relaxing by the sea and then run up the coast to Hoi An and the royal city of Hue.
