travels. ho chi min city. arrival.

after what strangely felt like a short plane ride (14 hours from nyc) we arrived in ho chi min city ready for food and adventure. we ate, we walked, and we talked. locals always want to steer you to flashy places what they don't realize is we would be happiest sitting on tiny stools just for the experience. our first night we sat at a picnic table and paid 120 dong for a meal for two with a few drinks (6 dollars.) By the end of 24 hours we found the tiny stools where we paid 50 dong (less than 3 dollars) for the same meal and some smiling faces too!
our meal of choice in ho chi min was bun, a noodle soup. deliciousness! you'll notice it in the first picture. this was our little buddy we made friends with while sitting on tiny stools in a non-touristy part of town. it took him a little while to warm up to us but what really did the trick was showing him his own photo!
