arrived in around 6am so after breakie headed out into Vietnams capital - Saigon (HCMC). i walked through the Ben Tham Markets, past the Reunification Palace to the War Museum. i met Ash and Jen and we walked round the museum. it was so intereting - so much footage/stories and facts abiut the war. it really was just so awful. thee worst thinh was the chemical Agent Orange that the americans sprayed iver all the land. not only dod it gas everything if people inhaled it, when they had babies they were disfigured and deformed from it :( so awful - there were so many people begging in the sreets that are stil affected by it - thats 3generations from the war. we also saw rhe 'Tiger Cages' - barbed wire cages they kept the vietnamese prisioners in. we then grabbed some lumch by Nitre Dame and the Post office before parting ways. i took the scenic route back to the hostel alomg Le Loi stret - a very rich road with all the designer shops - it is drfinietly a wealthy city and SO different from Hanoi!
