Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Hello buddies. .
Today I would want to share my experienced visited Ho Chi Minh City,Vietnam. .

Vietnam is one of developing country even the country implemented communist system. The capital of Vietnam is Hanoi and the Ho Chi Minh City is one of the largest city in Vietnam. It is situated in southeast Asia and they are using Dong as their currency.

The Vietnamese is quite friendly and some of them still lives in poor even the Ho Chi Minh City on developing.
The special things about Vietnam is the number of motorcycles on the road is higher than the population of the Vietnamese. Its weird right? but it is the fact. They loves to ride motorcycles rather than driving a car. From my 4 days experienced, I've never seen any accident happened. ~ They are riding motorcycles based on the speed limits. They are never speeding up.

When we want to cross the road, we do not need to worry about being hit or crash by the vehicles. We can just go cross the road. wanna know why? They will slow down their speed when they see people want to cross the road.

So enjoy the pictures !

I believe one picture will telling u 1001 stories ~ ~

I'm tried to get inside the tunnel for 10 meter. I can't breath well while in the tunnel so after 10 meter i'm quitting myself.
There is no light, totally dark. We just follow our tourist guide and he is just using a small torchlight. In the tunnel we need to 'jalan itik'. Its really tiring me..
