Woke up around 10 am again and went onto the balcony that was in our room to
take pictures of the fruit that was growing outside
For breakfast, we had pho delivered to our door again. Yummy! We also ate yogurt
that we bought at the supermarket the day before.
After breakfast, we
took a taxi over to District 1, the downtown area of Ho Chi Minh city. District
1 is also an area that a lot of tourists come to
visit.
» Ben Thanh Market
- We first stopped off at Ben Thanh market which is like a flea market, selling items such as clothes, souvenirs, fruits & vegetables and clothes. I bought a fridge magnet, conical hat (called nón lá) and two t-shirts

>> Next, we walked for about 20 - 30 mins to get to our next destinations.
These are pictures that I took on our walk
Next, we walked over to Nha Tho Duc Ba, a cathedral built in 1880
Right next door to the cathedral was the Saigon Central Post Office (called
buu dien), built in the early 20th century. We went inside to take a look
around, snap some pictures, and look at the souvenirs
We came home past dinner time, but out family had saved us some food
Later in the evening, my cousin came over and took me for a ride on her
scooter and gave me a tour of the city at night. It was beautiful!! We stopped
at Bud’s Ice Cream since it was hot and we were craving something cold to cool
us down. Bud’s Ice Cream is like Demetres where you order desserts from a menu.
I ordered neapolitan ice cream with strawberries & bananas (58,000 VND)
while my cousin ordered a brownie delight (59,000 VND) Yummy!
