Ho Chi Minh City..

Yeay!! completed another journey to another Asean country. This time around, it is Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam. About 2 hrs journey by flight from KLIA.

First impression when you step out from the airport, you will see lots of motorcycles. When I said lots, i really mean it..hehehehe. You can see them everywhere. They even have a dedicated lane for the motorcycles on the main road itself.

HCMC is a blend of modern and old. In one side, you can see the old buildings like Ben Thant Market and at another side you can see rows of high rise building with beautiful landscape. It is a nice city to visit especially if you are the type who like shopping very much.

For me, the main attraction of HCMC is Cu Chi Tunnel. This is where you can learn and explore the Vietcong tunnel where the Vietcong live during the war.

For Muslim, you don't have much problem finding a Halal restaurant. Halal Saigon to name one is one of the Halal restaurant you can find there.

Enjoy the photos..
