The hotel offered us breakfast 🥞. There was a variety of food 🥘

Then we went to visit different places. We used the map of HCM which shows the temples and other interesting places for visiting ( District 1)

We started visiting the sky tower, we didn’t pay the entrance because we decided to go later.

After this, we started to visit the temples and we came across with the art museum

Then we continued walking a long the river

After this, we visited the Viet man post and an emblematic temple

There was a sunny day and we decided to look for a fresh place and we ended in the mall 😋. We wandering and we were surprise for the cost of things, they weren’t costly but the number was large. The computer costed $ 32.990.000. With this money we could buy a house in a countryside in my country 😁

The mall was supper crowded and there were not place to sitting down with the exemption of the restaurant level, where there were few chair available.

Vietnam malls are narrow and tall. They sell different kind of cloth and others personal needs. There was a store in the first floor and we bought some grocery, it is cheap and the coffee was cheap.

War Museum: Emblematic, sad and touching

We visited the museum and we found very thought images of the war. The museum gave us an idea of what happened focused in U.S army. There was little information about the Vietnam army.

There was a section called “Agent Orange” and it showed how people was affected by this chemical, the images were disturbing and sad so we decided not continue visiting this section😢

We went to the pagoda and we were lucky because the ritual was starting. Vietnamita salute their deity’s first and then start to sing. They use a kind of bible that has the songs (it might has other things but we could not review it). The atmosphere created by the ritual generates a sense of calm and peace (it was beautiful). They burning incense an put it in a deity. it was definitely a excellent experience considering that we haven not had the opportunity to live this before.

After this, we went to the night market to buy the presents for the family and friends. In this journey, We noticed that vietnamitas get upset when you don’t buy their goods. We have some negative experiences with some of them. A girl hit me with a calculator because I did not want to buy coffee, she was rude and violent. She asked me for a package of coffee 180.0000 and finally she asked me 50.000. There was a huge difference in price, at that moment I thought that she was not reliable, that is why I didn’t want to buy the coffee. Other vietnamita were also upset when you don’t pay the money that they initially said. I mean, they asked for something, for example 200.000 and then when you decided to go and don’t buy anything the reduce the price significantly, let say 50.000, then You paid and they make a bad face. This is something that I don’t like, they increase the price 4 times more of what it is,

In relation to this point I would say that I prefer to buy in malls because the price is the same for everyone and I don’t need to spend my energy trying to find the most fair price.
