Day 2 - HCMC Walkabout

Big day of exploring on foot today.

At 1st when we drove in from the airport, we said how alike HCM was to Bali! ...maybe because of the heat, the scooters, the people and its prices?! 🤔

A couple days in and we can clearly see this place is way cleaner & more evolved than Bali!

Troy got nabbed by the shoe repair crazies on the street today ... I was wondering why they were so intent on checking out everyone's feet! 😆 ... they were trying to fix his very old thongs that he's planning throw after this trip! Oh well, the $2.50 was worth it for the photo!

We checked out Saigon Square & Ben Thanh Markets (def prefer the former). Ben Thanh is so over stimulating, hot, crowded & just crazy! ... Bali haggling is quiet banter compared to this place!

For dinner we went to the Café Apartments — once home to military bigwigs in the 60s, now stacked with cafés and one of HCMC’s coolest tourist spots.

We finished the night with a foot massage in what we will now label our worst yet... like EVER!! 🤣Read more
