Dong Khanh Hotel Ho Chi Minh City

... on the floor on the right &amp; the M&#8217;Ma , the babies &amp; girls sleep on straw on the left. When P&#8217;Pa &amp; M&#8217;Ma want to make another baby, they go into another room and close the curtain. That is the only room that has privacy in the house. All the other rooms do not have doors or curtains. <br><br>We saw a great quantity of large equipment (back hoe&#8217;s, front end loaders, bulldozers etc.) and transport trucks for sale in lots at the side ...

... periodically hassling you for this and that. I found an internet cafe and did some blogging, surrounded by what seemed from the decible level like a thousand Vietnamese children screeching and jabbering incessantly as they played World of Warcraft on the adjacent terminals, yet was in fact only about five. Noisy *******s. Afterwards I went back to the hotel, cracked open a beer from my minibar, lay on the bed and watched the movie channel on my TV before going to sleep.

... sent to the museum with an apology saying 'I'm sorry, I was wrong'.<br><br>Our trusty cyclo drivers were waiting for us and we agreed a price for them to take us to a restaurant for lunch. However they decided to take us somewhere completely different and tried to charge us 200,000 dong each. The frustrating thing is we had read about this scam which is why we agreed a price each time but they tried to pull it anyway. After a few minutes 'negotiation' which ...

... for me. The originals had been constructed to protect the Cu Chi guerrillas during the war as they were a minority group of Southerners who actually fought with the Northerners against the Americans and for Communism. This led to this particular part of the south being heavily bombed and attacked by the Americans and they&#8217;re all too well known B-52&#8217;s. We saw bomb craters and tunnels and all sorts of traps used by the Cu Chi&#8217;s and then got to ...

... for Ho Chi Minh (Saigon). Once checked in it was off the beach, my first beach of the trip so far and it didn&#8217;t disappoint. The other great thing about Nha Trang as well was how quiet and relaxed it was compared to Hanoi although there were still some pretty persistent people selling **** on the street. Found a little bar in Nha Trang showing the cricket which was good especially as things seem to be going well for England at the moment. We ...

... for infections and so were sent to quarantine, very very scary as we have no idea what would happen if that would occur to one of us. Thank god for good insurance I guess! So Ho Chi Minh exploration tomorrow. Tonights experience has shown it to be mad. Literally. The road system is essentially people driving into eachother and hoping that the other will move out the way. Oh...and we got overcharged by $10 for a taxi that essentially took us in a circle. Bloody transport!<br>

... in the day in Bangkok but in fact as it turned out we hadnt!!! no worries i just had to go to a desk across the way pay $5, bring a stamped bit of paper back to the desk - job done... we didnt need to buy anything so just sat watching the planes taking off and landing before boarding our plane. Again like easyjet its first on best seats... we werent bothered where we sat as its only an hour ...
