Saigon here we come

Last weekend was our company trip to Saigon / Ho Chi Minh city. Saigon is the largest city and most modern city in Vietnam, with the population of 7 millions people. You will be suprised to see that motorcycle is the popular mode of transportation with more than 4 millions motorcycle on the road! The traffic in Saigon is crazy ! Driving on footpath, ignoring the red lights, not stopping for pedestrians, driving at wrong ways and etc.

During our stay at Saigon (3D 2N), we have managed to visit few must-visit places and some shopping. So lets the picture do the talking

War Remnants Museum . The place where you can see the collection of artifacts from Vietnam’s war – helicopters, fighters, bombs, artwork , pictures of violation, torture of American Army.

Saigon Church

Saigo Central Post office (walking distance from Saigon’s Church). Unique architecture.

We also had a great half day experience at Chu Chi Tunnel. It was a massive and strategic underground tunnel built by Vietnamese during the American War. The tunnel are extremely SMALL and just imagine how they were able to survive – living in the tunnel , they slept, ate and even gave birth.

The old palace.

Dinner on cruise along Mekong River.

And also… shopping ! Ben Thanh Market is also one of the tourist attraction. I dont have pictures at the market since yours truly was busy shopping hehe. But I do have a picture at the night market.

In Vietnam we can easily find halal food. During our stay, the tourist guide has brought us the muslim to halal restaurant and the dishes are good . yummie

Lunch ..
