A Trip to Vietnam – Part 3

My flight back to Japan was only leaving around midnight, so I had a full day of exploring Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) on my own. First station was the Saigon post office and Notre Dame right next to it. The post office is a beautiful building with an old legend sitting inside it on some days.

I spotted the gentleman during our team building day but it was kind of too obvious and intruding to take a picture of him. Seems he takes off on Saturdays and his place was empty.





The Notre Dame and the independence palace are closed over lunch and I walked to the Hotel Intercontinental Saigon. On the way, I stopped at a crossroad and studied a map. Promptly one of the scooter drivers drove onto the pavement and asked me in broken English where I want to go. Next, he offered me to take me around town on his scooter for 5 USD
