We Survived the Trip

Notre Dame Cathedral, Ho Chi Minh City

My two friends and I survived our trip to Vietnam. During our time in Ho Chi Minh City we visited the Reunification Palace, lovingly referred to as the "Independence Palace" by the local government, the War Remnants Museum, the Notre Dame Cathedral and several art galleries that I've forgotten the names of already.

However, the real fun began with our trip to Mui Ne Beach. We boarded our $5 bus from the center of Ho Chi Minh and experienced first hand the crazy driving that pervades the roads of Vietnam. What should have been a peaceful night ride felt like a bus race. It was more common than not for our bus driver to pass other buses on the many two-lane roads (even in lots of traffic).

We spent two days at Mui Ne, one on the beach and the other touring local spots including the Laying Buddha.

We then took another scary 1pm bus ride about to Ho Chi Minh City where we then took a day trip to the Mekong Delta.

So now, I'm back at "home" in South Korea. Vietnam was beautiful, but it's good to be back.
