After Mom left, I had one day to do laundry and then I was off for Vietnam with my friend Ben. After a $40 Visa and 6 hour bus ride, we were in Ho Chi Minh City in southern Vietnam. It was truly a city, with tall buildings, shopping malls (with food courts!), and movie theaters.
We walked all around the city. Visited the Fine Arts Museum.
We went to the movies. In total we saw 8 movies in the two weeks we visited Vietnam. 3 we saw at a movie theater (Rio in 3d, The Roommate, and Big Momma), the others we saw at a restaurant that had a movie theater on the top floor.
We went to the food court in the mall and had Fried Chicken and Cheese burgers.
We walked around town and saw big buildings...
After a week in HCMC, we took a night bus to Nah Trang. It was my first night bus and it was an experience. The seats were small bunk beds.
We spent the next few days in Nah Trang. It was beautiful. There are mountains and white sandy beaches. The weather was perfect, not too hot with a great breeze.
In Nah Trang, we found a brewery and restaurant that had a pool and beach cabanas. We ate great food, played a lot of connect four, laid on the beach, and read a lot.
Overall, my Vietnam vacation was wonderful. It was really relaxing and it was good to get away from Cambodia for a little bit.
