Day 1:
-Got lucky to have a 2 dollar discount in the taxi to the backpackers area but upon arriving in the place a guard who looks like a drunk Vietcong came out in a dark alley. It looks like he came out from a war scene and it really gives me the creeps I thought he and the taxi driver are trying to sell us hahaha but luckily we're able to get a good place to stay.
-Saigon traffic!!! Waah lots and lots of motorcycles and every time we try to cross the street we always scream
-We ate a very delicious breakfast in Cho Benh Tanh market and finally plan our itinerary haha we just need to fill up our stomachs in order to have a clear plan :)
-City tour!!!!! Art museum-hehe we didn't pay anything for this because we use the back gate to enter :) Revolutionary Museum and the building across that looks like a European place haha I forgot the name. Dong Khoi street and a park with a very interesting photo exhibit of Vietnamese photographers, cool selections unfortunately the captions are not written in English.
-The search of Fanny ice cream :) Our other classmate, Jae, told us to taste the ice cream in this place so we walk for almost 30 minutes just looking for it but its worth it. The taste is superb just the right sweetness and its truly a natural ice cream.
-Ate dinner in a newly open restaurant in Pham Ngu Lao with a buy one take one Saigon beer :)
