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.
It was really claustrophobic n dark,
my heart went out to the refugees…
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.
