Re: Saigon must-do??? Went to a Vespa Cafe and the vespas for sale looks really good! Even got the contact from the boss.. apparently can transport back to Singapore and is cheaper too.
After thoughts of trip:
- Mekong Delta
Disappointing.. nothing much to see and i fell asleep during the river cruise. But to be fair, I think it is because the package I went for is not that interesting so my advice is to read thr the itinerary carefully!
- Cu Chi Tunnels
Fun! Come out aching for days after going thr the tunnel twice - ok, I'm weak :shifty3:
- War Remants Museum
Lots of pictures and war story.. rather depressing and sobering..
- Ben Thanh market
Over-rated! I had something climbed up my leg while waiting for boyfriend to finish his prawn noodles. I thought it was too big to be a fly so when I looked down to investigate, it was a coachroach!!!!
- 野味
Only dared to try a field cricket after my boyfriend took off everything except the body so it looked like a small fried onion. Tasted not too bad - like a peanut! Boyfriend braver.. he ate the cricket whole and had a deep fried scorpion too :disgust2:
- Motorbike ride through the city (most fun activity)
This activity is only for the stout-hearted! There is no regard for traffic rules, just how skillful you are at weaving in and out of the traffic. We rented a bike for a day. In the beginning, my boyfriend was observing traffic rules and driving carefully. By afternoon, he drives like a vietnamese - meaning forget the traffic lights/ rules, squeeze wherever you can and he even went against traffic (3 converging lanes FULL of bikes and cars) to turn into a side street! I was clutching him for dear life and he only laughed harder
