Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Day 3 - War Remnants Museum, Notre Dame Catheral, Central Post Office, Municipal Theatre, City Hall

Third day
Started our morning with the War Remnants Museum
It was a museum displaying mostly pictures of the suffering resulted from the wars in Vietnam
Very powerful pictures to give the victims a voice
























































Outside the museum.





























There was also a mock prison outside the compound to mimic how the prisoners of war were kept and tortured
It was quite creepy for me
Then
We went to a nearby stall for lunch





































Pho again!






































After lunch
We started the city tour
Notre Dame Catheral





































Central Post Office

























































Inside the Post Office. It is still functioning.


































































It was a very hot afternoon
Went to a nearby McD to escape the heat for a while
The peach one was soooo goooood!






































Passed by this on the street. It was the Ben Tanh Market made of books.





























A book cafe. 





























Continued our journey to the Municipal Theatre





























Ho Chi Minh City Hall






























































































Ho Chi Minh statue in front of the City Hall






































Passed by a building full of cafes!






































Bitexco Tower. We did not go up to the skydeck.






































Had a bit of KFC for dinner.





























Since it was still early, we decided to go for grocery shopping at Parkson nearby.






































Saw this apple as big as my palm






































Bought so many packets of 3in1 coffee.






































We decided to bring those 3in1 coffee home as souvenirs
Really like the brand
Now they even have so many flavours!
Call it a night



Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Went to this cafe to see the alpacas Alpaca is a long-haired domesticated South American mammal related to the ilama It is valued for its fine, long wool Very few people rear this kind of animal in Taiwan as they must be imported And it is unprofitable to rear them So this cafe gave us an opportunity to dine with alpaca It will walk around the cafe You can touch it You can take as many pictures as you like You can even get a chance to feed it with carrots But you must order something to eat or drink The price was not cheap Feeding it with carrot We had a hard time deciding what to order to eat or drink As we already had a meal before going to the cafe So all of us was not hungry at all Plus the price was quite expensive Eventually we decided to order only drinks and waffles Having our desserts before dinner > < It kept coming to our table after one of us fed it with carrot Waffles with ice-crea...
