Saigon-Ho Chi Min

---

Today is valentines.day but no card. However waking up here.beats any valentines day.

We started the day with lyn a member of the family.from.the homestay. We all went in a boat to the mekong.delta to see the floating markets. This was a.lovely trip seeing all the boats parked.in.the.middle of.the water all selling.different things, pineapple, melon etc. Villagers attend.the.floating.markets and.buy items for.cheap and.sell them.in.their local villages.

Today was lauras 31st birthday so we all sang to her, lyn.sang in.thai and naima.and.Alex sang in swedish. Lyn then carried on.the karoke on.the boat singing one direction. Was really.nice.atmosphere

We had to jump off.the.boat on to a coach to take us to saigon. This.was.four.hour trip which was easy peasy. Arriving.in ho chi min,it.was so busy scooters everywhere not many cars here. We had a.walk around the markets amd went.back.to.freshen up for tea.

We walked to a.nearby resturant and then.went to. Au biu vien street. Here.was really cheap beers and.cocktails. The street was.packed never seen so many people. We endedup on plastic chairs in.middle of.street as.the bars pay the police to.spread.out.into.the road. Daz was.close to being run over. Walking back was fun.people watching. Such a busy city but love it

Forgot to mention daz got me a.ballon.but.found.out.it was.free........thought that counts!<3
