Our First Night in Ho Chi Ming City, Vietnam

The flight from Quy Nhon was comfotable and smooth, it only took about an hour. We booked a hotel near downtown as we wanted to be close to some of the attractions. What a difference between a small city in Vietnam from Ho Chi Ming City!

After we checked into our hotel, we took a walk around the hotel area to familiarize ourselves with the neighborhood. There were numerous restaurants serving many different kinds of food and we stopped at one looking at the menu. A gentleman outside the restaurant greeted us warmly and explained to us the menu's specialities. It was a vegetarian restaurant and it looked quite nice. We decided to give it a try and had our dinner there.

The food was not bad at all! The restaurant was busy and the wait was a little longer than we had expected. But the gentleman had a good conversation going keeping my husband entertained.

We have heard of HO CHI MING CITY - HCMC for a long time. I couldn't believe that we are actually here visiting this famous city. We look forward to exploring and learning more about this city in the next few days!
