Day 16 - Ho Chi Minh
Today was a relaxing day. Xuan took us to Ben Thanh markets where we had lunch. Justin and Pepsi had to buy Xuan and I lunch because we won a bet from the night before :D

After Ben Thanh we went to the wholesale markets in China Town and then to some cheap markets in District 3. It was interesting to see the markets and all the cool stuff they had. I did not buy anything as my suitcase was overflowing from Thailand. We also got some Pork Rolls, they were good but not as good as the ones in Cabramatta.

The traffic over here is crazy and crossing the road is a scary experience. The best way is to walk out slowly and the traffic will dodge you. I thought I was going to die a few times but I did not get run over.

We had some rest at the hotel after a long day of walking and then went out for beek steak. The beef steak was awesome and only about $4usd per serve. It was funny that we went all the way to Vietnam to eat Australian beek steak. It was cooked Vietnamese style though. For desert we went and had frozen yoghurt. It is similar to Goodberries but the yoghurt is self serve and it is flavoured.
