ANH DAO GUESTHOUSE

August 14, 2012 | MissBackpacker 4

Do you remember how it felt like the first time you did it? Have you really thought about it before doing it? Was it scary? Was it something you won’t forget while you still live?

MissBackpacker | Where Have You Been Lately?

So, how was your first sleeping-in-the-airport experience? It scares me so much that I haven’t tried it yet.

Children, do not confuse yourself. Hanoi has Ho Chi Minh Museum which was built to honor the late Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh. Now, there’s also Ho Chi Minh City Museum located in District 1 of Saigon and that’s where we went.

The only museum I recall that I’ve been to prior this was the National Museum in Manila. I couldn’t remember the other museums I visited during our educational field trips in gradeschool. So when we arrived in Saigon, we didn’t waste our time and set foot in the old Ho Chi Minh City Museum. Old?

THE SCOOTER COUNTRY

August 11, 2012 | MissBackpacker 8

I know a country where there are a lot of motorbikes. And when I say a lot, I mean MILLIONS.

Development in Vietnam is pretty obvious. Just think of how bicycles, in which the country is famous for, were quickly replaced by a massive volume of motorbikes.

35K ISN’T CHEAP

August 11, 2012 | MissBackpacker 2

Our friend EJ, a big Che Guevarra sucker, requested that we buy him a cap with a single star design similar to his icon’s famous beret. Che’s from Cuba and we’re going to Vietnam. I didn’t see the connection.

A PALACE WITHOUT A KING

August 11, 2012 | MissBackpacker 2

I thought Vietnam was all about bicycles, dirt cheap goods, leaf hat, and great noodles. But then there are the palaces, museums, and rich war chronicles that I missed (except for their epic feat over the Americans, that I know).
