The Other Half of Day 2

After the visit to the post office we went for our lunch at a place called Quan An Ngan which is a very popular restaurant to tourist and the locals. We were supposed to have dinner here the night before but we arrived too late.

No one actually thought about taking pictures of the food till it was too late as everyone was too thirsty and hungry. So below is whats left of the mud fish that we had ordered.

Least still manage to get a picture of the grill crab before it was eaten


After a really full lunch we were ready to get back on trail of our city tour. We headed straight to the War Remnants Museum. It showcased some pretty gory relic and pictures{What the heck? eat so full go see gory things?}. It was previously known as the Museum of American and Chinese War Crimes which got later change as not to offend the American and Chinese tourist. Still much of the picture showed there were from the Vietnam war.


I'll let the picture above tell the story of the picture below.

Read the picture above.
Some bombs and missiles that were used.
They even had a couple of tanks.
After the city and museum tour it was a cab ride back to Ben Thanh for shopping.
You can find from cloths to souvenirs and food stuff here. Rule of thumb was to always haggle at 70% of the price which actually didn't work much for us :P. Looks like the shop keepers had a specific limit as to how low they will sell for tourist. The lowest we actually manage to get in a discount was always around 25%-50%. Still things there were already cheap but hack nothing to lose from haggling a little.
