Hello Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

All of our luggage was loaded onto a large bus and relayed to the centre of this massive city. Here is a huge (11 million population), thriving metropolis. For the first time, we were actually cautioned to keep our passports and valuables secure. No problems ever arose.

Outside the Opera House, this bicycle merely demonstrated the carrying capacity.

The tallest building we could see had a helicopter pad jutting out of the side.

Vietnamese coffee is apparently quite famous. I had some on our very last night.
It was very strong and very sweet. I liked it.

This is the largest post office in Vietnam.

Inside the Post Office.

We visited the Vietnam War Museum. The Vietnamese call it "The American War".

Cooking School: This man stared straight ahead, and smiled as he demonstrated his chopping skills.

We made salad rolls, mixed the spices for a fried chicken dish, and concocted an amazing bowl of pho. All in all, it was a wonderful meal, and great entertainment.

Sliding doors opened between the bedroom and the bathroom.

Deb especially loved this lounge chair.
I thought it looked like it could have come from Ikea.
