Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Day 1 - Japan Vietnam Festival, Bugs, The Note Coffee, Pho on The Street

Just some brief sharing on my recent trip to the Ho Chi Minh City during 28/1/18 to 1/2/18
Ho Chi Minh City was previously known as Saigon
It is a city located at Southern Vietnam
Which is famous for the pivotal role it played in the Vietnam War
Throughout our trip in Ho Chi Minh
We stayed at Prague Hotel
Which was a pretty new hotel situated at District 1
It was close to all the attractions in the city
The plus point?
Breakfast was included!(Save us a lot of $$)
We touched down at Ho Chi Minh City at 12.55PM
Went for some food at the Asian Food Town opposite our hotel
My first taste of pho in Vietnam





























After that
We saw something very happening
It was the Japan Vietnam Festival
Girls in Kimono






































Bumped into this stall at the festival






































Giving out tester






































Highlights of the night!








































































































Cosplay. Not sure which character. 






































This picture shows my first impression of Ho Chi Minh. Motorbikes everywhere! This was taken in Pham Ngu Lao Street.





























Found The Note Coffee at Bui Vien Street. One of the best cafe in Ho Chi Minh!






































Egg Coffee, Coconut Latte & Passion Fruit Gelato






























As the name suggests, this cafe is filled with sticky notes with comments all over the world.











































































Really enjoyed watching the hustle and bustle street outside while sipping my cup of coffee






































Highly recommended to try the egg coffee!





































The spiraling staircase. Must be extra careful when walking.






































As we were still hungry, went for some pho on the way back.






































Trying the local way. Eating while sitting on the stool. 






































Went back hotel for an early night rest
Call it a night



Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Day 15 (4/1/16) The plan was to visit Stanwell Park, Nan Tien Temple, Kiama and finally Ulladulla to set up our tent for camping The weather forecast said that there would be a shower or worse, thunderstorm these few days Besides, Nan Tien Temple at Wollongong was closed for some reason Quite unlucky huh~ Driving through the forest Stanwell Park  Feeling so tiny in front of nature~ Stanwell Park is the first of several pretty coastal towns south of the  Royal National Park , on Lawrence Hargrave Drive. It's a popular beach for surfing and picnics and an easy day trip from  Sydney . The hills that rise sharply from the coast to the escarpment and the strong air currents make Stanwell Tops a prime spot for hang gliding. The  Grand Pacific Drive  passes through Stanwell Park on its spectacular route along the coast to the South Coast. Stop at Sea Cliff Bridge, located between Coalcliff and Clifton, for a walk along this engineering masterpiece (n...
