Ho Chi Minh City
11 - 12 June
After the tranquility of the Mekong Delta, the hussle and bustle of Ho Chi Minh City was a stark contrast with chaos in every corner!
We spent a humid and sweaty day walking to the various sights of HCMC including a painfully harrowing account of the Vietnam War at the War Museum with graphic pictures and models of events and torture devices used. The highlight of our "City Tour" however was the sighting of a frozen yoghurt shop where we ceased talking for a whole 5 minutes while gorging in air-conditioned bliss!Ever the proud South Africans (Nam Phi in Vietnamese) we donned our yellow Bafana Bafana shirts, flag tattoos and other South African paraphanalia to watch the opening ceremony and the first game. Amazingly it was very difficult to find a crowd to watch with in this football mad country and in the process of our search an innocent barlady/man was accosted and spent the rest of the evening proudly sporting an SA flag tattoo on his face.
