Ho Chi Minh City

[day 2]

After having breakfast and saying goodbye to Coen and Loc, Anneke and I got into a taxi and went to visit the touristic spots in the city. The Notre Dame church and the old postoffice. Unfortunately we couldn't visit the Notre Dame church due to restauration works. We visited the postoffice. A very marvellous building and not only beautiful on the outside, the inside is also worth seeing. Still in use and very crowdy. We bought some souvenirs over there and posted some cards. Next to the postoffice you find McDonald's. We ordered some food and drinks there and then we went on to a shopping mall not far from the postoffice, it's called 'Diamond Plaza'. Very luxurious. It looks a lot like KDW (Kaufhauf des Westens) in Berlin. Because we didn't know the value of Vietnamese money the taxidriver who brought us to these places had a fantastic day thanks to us. We paid way too much money for the drive (40€ in stead of 4€). That won't happen to us again!
