Trip in 2010 - Ho Chi Minh Vietanam

dah pegi  nearly a week, baru tau cerita di bawah ni..... hehehehehe, kalau tak tu yang tau ben tanh market, cu chi tunnel jek...


Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam and is located near the Mekong Delta. Under the name, Prey Nokor, it was the main port of Cambodia, before being annexed by the Vietnamese in the 17th century. Under the name Saigon, it was the capital of the French colony of Cochinchina, and later of the independent state of South Vietnam from 1954 to 1975. In 1975, Saigon was merged with the surrounding province of Gia Định and renamed Hồ Chí Minh City.




The city center is situated on the banks of the Saigon River, 60 kilometers (37 mi) from the South China Sea and 1,760 kilometers (1,094 mi) south of Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.
 
all in all, total damage is 2 million DONG, 100 USD, 100 RM , charge to credit card another 1.2 mil DONG and 87 USD.
