1000 - Reached the War Remnants Museum. This is my second time visit to this museum as it is very worthy. The entrance fee is only VND15k/adult. This museum let you understand well about the Vietnam War. There are three floor in this museum. We started at the third floor first as the overall understanding of the Vietnam War can be seen in the room 1. Every room have photos and their description even the war photographers' photos. After visited all the room, we feel that this war is very cruel especially the agent orange which destroy so many generations proper life.
In the War Remnants Museum, can see tanks, helicopter and jet fighter





Best room to see the photo taken from war photographer



1200 - Walked to the Tan Dinh Church which is not far from the museum. This church is unique of the pink painting wall. After that, we were having our lunch at the food stall nearby.

Pink Church. Very talk
Rice with vege and a meat, VND25k each


The orange meat look like crab


1330 - Then visited the central post office, Notre Dame Basilica and Opera house by foot. It was a raining day, we're lucky that we were in the post office when it rain. We can sit and rest inside as there are many chair inside and souvenirs shop too. The souvenirs here are quite expensive but the postcards are worth to buy as there are wide variety of postcard.

1730 - Walked to Pham Ngu Lao street. This street mostly are bar and restaurant and travel agency. Not much souvenirs shop.

Then back to the Ben Thanh Market again. Watching the night markets seller to open their stall. This moment is very unique that the seller push their tent and thing with trolley in the middle of the street to the night market location. This night market sell very cheap souvenirs and shirts but not the food. The fake Under Armour shirt only VND70k! (I bought in Hanoi cost VND100k).
Use motorcycle to pull the thing




Don't buy this at the Ben Thanh Night Market. It is very expensive, VND50k for each of the sticky rice flavour.
