Saigon - Vietnamese adventures

Vietnam's one of my fav countries in the world
with its interesting culture and amazing history.
It's a pity we didnt get to see other cities besides Saigon
bt the food n history was enough to lure me back for more!

Boating along the Mekong River.
A true experience just getting to know their vietnamese way of life
along the river, how fishermen make a living
the housing along the delta.







The singer performed some traditional songs
n had us swaying to the melody




Night food market




the excellent mussels
fried with garlic n absolutely tasty

best hotpot i had in life





Cu chi tunnels.
we took a US$5 daytrip (unbelievably cheap) to the rural areas
to witness some of the historical sites
that were sobering stories of the painful past.









getting into the narrow tunnel
where refugees hid for days
i cld barely enter..
so claustrophobic n dark


story of Ho Chi Minh





the streets of Saigon
filled with scooters 




we enjoyed every single meal in Saigon
this last meal took us forever to find
bt it was so worth it.




Pho with springrolls and many crispy ingredients
that made a simple dish taste so good.
