Saigon Day 2 & 1/2

Day 2 started early in the morning, we had plan a tour around the city. Power lines were very familiar to those that I've seen in India. One mass of wire strung to a pole.
They had lots of cute stalls by the road side with small tables and chairs {Darn no small chairs and tables} which sold drinks, food and even french bread.
The famous Ben Thanh round about where the 'tourist' market place is situated. We didn't stop here first as we wanted to only do shopping later after the walk around the city. {Sky looks nice..no?}
Statue of Tran Nguyen Hai, the first person in Vietnam that used carrier pigeons. The small bust sculpture below {got cut off!!!!} is Quach Thi Trang who was killed during anti government protests in 1963
Some shops that sold wood carvings along the road

The People Committee Hall was modeled after a city hall building in Paris
Notre Dame Cathedral, build using bricks from Marseilles. Its not the same as the one in Paris thought.
Another view of the Cathedral with the statue of the Virgin Mary.The general post office adjacent to Notre Dame. Looks like a train station doesn't it.
{Hey its day 2 and a 1/2 mah.. :P Next up lunch}
