Day 21 - Chilling in Saigon

Day 21 - Chilling in Saigon

My last full day in Vietnam was calm. In the morning, we got breakfast at a Hue restaurant. It was a late breakfast, so we all ate enough for breakfast and lunch. We had banh khoai, bun bo hue, cha hue, egg rolls, and nem cung, which is something I haven't had before. It's like cha, but wrapped in tofu. Overall pretty good, though the bun bo hue was better in Hue.

We headed back to the hotel to sit for a bit before we went out again. We saw the big church that's in downtown Saigon, but it was closed and nobody could get inside. We head over to An Dong market next, which is waaaaaay better than Cho Ben Thanh. If you guys want to shop in Saigon, go to An Dong market first, and if you can't find it there, go to Saigon Square or Cho Ben Thanh. Those two spots are much more crowded and overcharge you.

We couldn't find any snake wine there, but we FINALLY get some over at liquor store corner, where they sell all kinds of alcohol. I'm pumped. Jess, on the other hand, is nervous. In fact, she won't let me take it home right away. She's going to hold on to it until SHE gets back from VN, which is the 31st.

After spending HOURS at An Dong, which is typically for Jess and her shopaholic auntie, we head back to the hotel again to chill. Since it was my last night here, we HAD to try to crawfish, so we went to the crawfish place in town, which charges MORE than American prices, and it's the same guy who owns SJ Crawfish. It wasn't bad, since it tasted the same as what we got in the states, but I wouldn't say that it's worth $30 USD per kilo. We also had fries and fish sauce chicken wings. mmmmm.....

Anyway, time to sleep. Last minute packing tomorrow and meals with everyone. See yall soon!
