Back in Ho Chi Mihn...last day in Vietnam

We had just half a day to play around Ho Chi Minh. We had places to see and shop! We enjoyed running around the city but I feel we did not see anything...guess I have to go back!

The day started with us watching some Vietnamese TV in the hotel room. There was this strange kids program on. We laughed and then left. However, on the stage outside was the same program live. The park was full of families. We pulled up a seat and watched for a while!


Government buildings....they are pretty but that is about all...


We also wanted to go to the museum...but it was closed. It was lovely from the outside!


We then went shopping at all the right places...like Samuel and Kevin's! Courtney and I wanted a picture here because we both have little brothers named Kevin!!


I also really wanted a discount on a hair cut...I was just a little too tall!


Never at at Lotteria...I think we have them in Japan but you can park
your motorbike right inside the store!


The numbers must have been luck that Sunday because there were weddings everywhere! At this one hotel there were 3 weddings happening simultaneously! The bridesmaids were lined up at three different doors!

Then we are off to the airport to head to Thailand! The halls were so crowded as everyone who was taking a flight and worked at the airport was focused on these two televisions! At first we couldn't understand why there was such a long line for security but then we learned...the soccer match between Vietnam and Thailand was on! Much more important than work!


We enjoyed some Vietnamese M&Ms.
They were a little different but we couldn't figure out why...


Duty free but not guilt free...
