I did not take much fotos of some for this city tour. Especially the War Remnants Museum... the scenes & fotos are too heart breaking for memories. Just imagine during war period, the bloody scenes, dead bodies & explosions....
And the torture scenes of the prisoners - cruel, damn cruel. I teared when i see & read the sad stories following each of the pics, especially the fotos of those dead babies & children. God!
No fotos for the Temple & Pagoda too...as hb & me are busy praying. :). Binh Tay Market is a wholesale market selling stuff such as clothes, bags, shoes, toys, watches & dry products such as shrimps, cuttlefish, pickled & preserved veggies, etc...
Empty Egg Shells
Art work done by all this handicapped people, from design, to washing to polishing, to waxing...
End products - for sale
The General Post Office
Telephone booths
Helloooo..
Notre Dame Cathedral
Inside
Pics from Reunification Palace.
Since the last stop of the tour was the Notre Dame Cathedral, most of us told the guide we will move ard on our own. So hb & myself, after we left the cathedral, bot 2 coconuts to drink. 1 thing i forgot to note in tis blog, the traffic in Ho Chi Minh is terrible. Beijing is covered with bicycles; Ho Chi Minh is covered with......yes...motorbikes. I tell you hor....the % of the motorbikes are more than the people walking on the streets. AND there are no traffic lights on the roads or rather, very few. You gt to zig zag ur way ard the traffic. Dun expect them to stop for you cos they will nvr. The trick to crossing the road is: just walk...the vehicles will avoid u.
And the whole of Ho Chi Minh does nt hv Pizza Hut either. We came across one outlet & saw written on their name card dat some other outlets are opening soon, so currently theirs is the only one. Cool! No MacDonalds,1 Pizza Hut & plenty of KFCs. So we had our dinner at Pizza Hut dat evening.
