Saigon by day and night

The tour was ok.  All the people on the tour were either from Malaysia, Singapore or Indonesia.  I was the only Westerner.  One guy even proposed to his girlfriend outside the Notre Dame Cathedral.  I felt the tour guide could have done a better job explaining the various sights of the city.  I now doubly regretted booking the tour and not joining Beth and the gang to go sight seeing.


In the evening we joined the students for dinner again.  This time we went to one of the girls uncle's restaurant.  The food there was excellent.  Authentic Vietnamese as it comes.  Don't ask me to pronounce the names of the dishes we ate.


After driving around the city and seeing the night market we went to a bar/club.  It is the first time I'd been to a bar since mid November last year.  I hadn't expected to see so many expats in one place.  The live music was good.
