Leaving a big part of my heart in Vietnam.

Saigon at night

Ben Thanh Market. I opted to not buy anything but apparently you can get very convincing fakes of luxury brands. Since a lot of merchandise is made in Vietnam, here you can find some after hours productions

Saigon after the rain. This was taken during a motorbike food tour with Street Food Man One of my favorite experiences in Saigon! Thank you to L for organizing this for everyone. And my guide “Ashley” was wonderful 10/10

You can take a boat ride along the Mekong Delta

Cu Chi tunnels- the underground tunnel network used by the Vietcong soldiers against the US. You can even go in the tunnels where I discovered this was my nightmare lol

Walking through a coconut plantation with our guide Eddie

Jugs to store rain water

Tien Giang island off the Mekong Delta. We took a boat ride and stopped by honey bee farms and coconut candy factories

The oldest apartment complex in Saigon, originally meant for US soldiers

Saigons first metro system!

We went a few days after opening day and the excitement was still high

Inside the train car people looked around

A must do is the War Remnants museum

The garden at Quang San Art Museum

The view from Little Hanoi Egg Coffee , we couldn’t get enough of this place!

The interior of the post office

Book Street. My paradise! Wish every city had a quiet car/motorbike free street full of bookstores and cafes.

What I've Been Up To- Happy 2025!
