Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam : 21 Nov 10

I'm still in hcmc..leave tomorrow for mui ne. Was feeling a bit weary this morning so decided to stay another day.

Did a big walk all round the city ... walked to Ben Thanh markets, cathedral, post office, people's community building, opera house ... beautiful buildings... walked to the saigon river....traffic was a nightmare...trucks everywhere... i crossed and i was in the middle of the road between two huge trucks...felt sick!!! but i made it !

they had souvenir shop at the PO...bought this really cool full leather bag brown and pink with flowers for TEN DOLLARS!!! couldnt resist it

Tonight i have treated myself....i was having dinner...best risotto & bruscetta i have ever had...and across the road was a beauty salon with "professional hair designer"...so i got a cut & blonde streaks...i felt sick when my hair was being cut but really happy with it...only $21...so then i had my finger & toe nails painted bright orange with white daisies painted on the orange for $9...so cheap and looks pretty cool :))

Had a great night last night...caught up with huong and mina (mina's from cambodia but lives in darwin too) ...huong took us to a REAL vietnamese restaurant ...yum it was so good....id had a pizza 2 hrs before but still stuffed myself on V.food! the belly is getting bigger!

well off to bed now...early bus to mui ne
