The horn honking in China is also incessant - it's maddening...

These are great photos - thank you.

Look like you had wonderful time. ;D

Looks nice, I'm probably going to be there in January for the first time.

good that i not eat since yesterday

waited for this journal

so now i can eat.lol

Next time is you can pull yourself away from the food get to the War Museum which has many pics (they also have an agent orange exhibition if one wants to see the effects of the war), lovely old Botanical gardens with the History Museum and Ho Chi Minh Museum on the south side of the river.

There are also at least 6 temples worth visting in the City, one of which is know as the fertility temple and visted by women trying to get pregnant. I went there but never fell pregnant afterwards!

newyorkd>> thanks to you too : )

pandorea>> chai leaw ka... but so poor... i went there for one day

Admin>> i suggest... but if you visit Ho Chi Minh.. you would mostly see War Museum (as LG mentioned)

guttes2>> you made me laugh... anyway, sorry for keep u waiting so long... bon appetit!

LakeGeneve>> well, food obsession would be a good excuse tho' : )

i would love to visit museum(s)... but it would take time... then better next trip...

i visited 2 temples... 1 chinese style and 1 vietnamese style... i will show in the next journal... i'm not sure which temple known as the fertility temple... ok i will set plan since now... i will go there right after i get married (and ready to have baby)... ooooor i dont need that?! : )

LakeGeneve>> ohh!!and only IF you got pregnant afterwards, i would believe it's TRUE!
