I wish I had time to update on the past 5 days but we have either been asleep or getting out of the house to explore.
Day 1.
After a 7 hour wait at Bangkok airport we took a short flight to meet Sorana at Ho Chi Minh airport, I felt so tired but too excited to sleep, instead we walked to a great seafood restaurant in Thao Dien (district 2) and met some of Sorana's friends, Anna, Amy and James. After many hours of chatting and catching up the total bill of $15 for all the seafood we could eat and all the beers we could drink was absolutely insane.
Day 2.
It is still taking a while to get used to the heat, Steve and I woke up late and took a taxi into the first district to visit the War Remnants Museum, it was a very harrowing experience but I was curious to learn more about what had happened. After we went in search for someplace to eat and ended up in a place a few minutes walk away from the museum, I thought it would be nice to get a 'light dinner' and ordered a beef hotpot in which the waitress cooked for us on the table- super tasty stuff but way too much. Leaving with full tummies we wandered into the backpacker district to meet Sorana and her friends for some cocktails and a silly dance at Lush nightclub. Some very bad music and dance moves ensued.
