Street scen in HCM near market

HCM

What a great city is HCM very different to Hanoi the traffice doesn't appear to be so frenetic as it was in Hanoi and there are a lot more cars on the road which is more difficult ot cross.

Bui Vien St scene at night from our hotel window

We stayed very conveniently in the street next to Sinh Cafe which meant when we took a tour we only had a stroll around the corner.
There is no need to walk far as we found most things were availabel within the surrounding streets of our hotel in Bu Vien St District 1

All those kids playing with 1 marble!!!

We booked a trip to the Cu Chi Tunnels at the Sinh Cafe and it was terrific well worth the time and money. We also took a day trip to the Mekong Delta and experienced lots of interesting things like a coconut plantation that makes all the sweets by hand you can watch the ladies from start to the finished product which is for sale. We also had a tea ceremony where the men were invited to taste the snake wine the Vietnamese Viagra we were told. There weren't many takers, this was accompanied by a Vietnamese orchestra and singer.
