During March 18-22 we visited Southern Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and the region around it.
Saigon is a city with around 8 million people. Many people in the streets sell fruits and other items.
Saigon is also called the 'motorcycle city' with a total of around 3 million motorbikes!
Coconut juice is very refreshing, as the inside of the coconut remains cool.
It has been a pleasure travelling with Norah. She coped very well with the sometimes hectic travel schedule and irregular bedtimes.
We visited the war museum, where many of the (terrible) images and weapons of the Vietnam war are on display.
The Chu Chi tunnels are the great pride of Vietnam. These tunnels have become symbols of how a peasant army can resist an army with modern weaponry.
Ramin got stuck in the tunnel...
Bullets of the AK47
The AK-47 (short for Russian: Автомат Калашникова образца 1947 года - Avtomat Kalashnikova model 1947); is a gas operated assault rifle which was used in most Eastern bloc countries during the Cold War. It was also used during the Vietnam war.
The Mekong delta region encompasses a large portion of southeastern Vietnam of 39,000 km². The size of the area covered by water depends on the season.
A one day tour of part of the Mekong Delta.
Banana trees
The python as a friend
