We arrived in HCMC last night. We have not really had much chance to explore but what we have seen seems nice. It is huge. We are staying in the backpacker area which is much like any other. It is not as quaint as Hanois old quarter. We managed to send our parcel from Hoi An home at the cost of another $220 (hope it gets there). This month we have definately sepnt over budget but heh you only live once!! We are going to to War Museum tomorrow which i am apprehensive about but feel it needs to be seen. After that we head across the border to Cambodia. Hope all is well back home. X x
