This is your editor reporting from somewhere in the backpacker's area in Ho Chi Minh.
Around me are plenty of muzik, booze and most importantly... the local girls.
So far from scanning the pictures I have taken so far..I am guilty to say, I have not have a picture to show of the Viet gal in her ao dai, the traditional dress yet
Schedule done so far.
1) Reunification Palace : an extremely boring part of the itinerary, suggest further visitors to Ho Chi Minh City - SKIP this place.
2) Cholon and Ben Thanh Market : A must-stop place, a place where time have stopped, a time of far gone eras, where you still can see fish being dried out in the sun, bric-bacs being sold, common household utensils and a long-running list of items too much to mention here.
3) Notre Dame Catherdral : Good only for photo shoots and staunch Christians. The architecture takes after those in Europe but probably the lack of interest of workers then seems to be very vibrant in the sparsely decked church.
An uncommon item though, are neon lights depicting 'Ave Maria' etc ornate the figurines of saints and heavenly figures.
4) The Post Office : a cool place where business and tourism go hand in hand. The central area is mainly for incoming tourists going for the bird-like shopping spree. *cheap cheap*
Ordaining the walls on both sides are murals of Vietnam maps in post-gone eras. Uncle Ho's picture sits right in the centre welcoming all visitors with his familiar smile.

So much for my edition today, feeling under the sun as I was ferried by a well-mannered motorcyclist who took me around for a fee. Where is my LEMONADE!!!
