sights

and the tourist attractions

click!


Notre Dame 
similar to the one we saw on Paris, Notre dame in Vietnam. it wasnt as magnificant as the one we saw in Paris but we still took a photo of it hehe


Reunification Palace
the place where reunification took place ? haha yeaps basically it's a building with lots of room for conferences and entertainment for the officials and government. there's even a games room with a mahjong table! wow. the place is rather huge, a lots of open spaces for people to roam about. found nothing special about the place actually. maybe because we did not opt for a tourguide to bring us ard with commentary due to lack of time.






War Museum
I feel this is probably the must go place in HCMC. lack of time, we arrived only at 12pm when they were almost closing for lunchbreak (????!!!!) the guard was nice enough to let us in for 20mins free! only could take a look at some of the exhibits and we went into the mocked up tiger cage. which is real freaky, i have problems looking thru the pictures i've taken at night. it was where the prisoners of war were kept and tortured, u should go see it for urself, the gruesome picture i dont even want to describe here. and the living conditions of the place was terrible. freaky...
