Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

This is our first day in Ho Chi Minh City and I have decided that this is my favorite Asian city so far. It is much cleaner than the others and not quite as insanely busy as Hanoi or Phnom Penh. You can cross the streets and walk down the sidewalks in a reasonable fashion. Many of the buildings are modern and beautiful.

We walked to the Notre-Dame Basilica but it is closed for renovations. Across the street from Notre-Dame is the Saigon Central Post Office which was built in the late 1800’s. It is very beautiful inside.

We had Indian food for dinner and then took a walk to see some of the city at night. The lights are beautiful!
