Not a very exciting last couple of days. Our last day in Saigon on Thursday was spent at Bobby Brewers watching another movie followed by a massage (#8). Night time people watching is the best part of staying in the main tourist area. Always something going on. We had dinner at a place called The Hideaway where the owner was present for the evening. Looked like a Southern European and the way he was acting it looks like he is a real arse hole. We reckon the loca...

Tuesday 4th Nothing much planned today so we headed to check out some shopping centres . Couldn't believe these places as it was looking walking through Myer or David Jones or any Westfield. Prices to match so don't know who actually shops here as Vietnam is generally so poor though there must be some rich folk around and some ex pats. Between the shopping centres we visited Notte Dame cathedral and the Central post office and send some postcards . After we...

We had dinner and then went and sat at one of the other bars on street and just watched the people and had a few beers. Was really interesting just watching everything go...

Anyway after settling in we went looking for a tailor that I had found on TripAdvisor. The town has around 1000 tailors and there are just rows of them in every street. Looks like a nice quiet little place but definitely popular with Aussies as they are everywhere....

Tues 28th Oct A quiet day today after the full day tour the previous day. After breakfast we headed around to the Main Street and hired cyclo drivers to take us around the city for an hour. That was quite relaxing but got very hot by the time we finished. When we got off it was too early for lunch so we decided to have a massage but after failing to find the one I found in Trip advisor we just went into the first one we found. It cost 200,000 dong and was pret...
