Miss Saigon...


Enjoying my first day in Ho Chi Minh City in over a year and found lots of new things showing up in town. More Cafes, cleaner streets, more motorbikes, more fast food chains (nope star bucks and Mc Dicks are not here yet) and more people speaking english. I am sure it will not be long for Saigon to become like Bangkok where it becomes a western city in SE asia.

Did some shopping but finding the prices higher than Hanoi so I am going to save the money for other things when I return to Hanoi.

Tonight my friend and I are going to the Live theatre near the hotel where I am staying at. This theatre is a Vietnamese theatre but they have sub titles so I am eager to listen ... errr... read what this show will be about.

Tommorrow will be the re-unification palace and all the war history from the "southern" perspective. I will upload some pictures on the journal as soon as i can.

Time for dinner... will it be Pho or will it be a hamburger?.... That is the question in my thoughts...
