Vietnam: Ho Chi Minh City, a world of motorbikes, interesting food, and war history

Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon) was an interesting place and very unique to other cities we had visited. We wanted to visit the North of Vietnam but just didn't have time in our schedule. Many travelers have said that we did not get a feel for the true Vietnam by only staying in the city of Ho Chi Minh. Nevertheless, we enjoyed our brief stay in Ho Chi Minh and would describe it as very eye-opening, unique, and quite interesting. We visited the Reunification Palace, the War Remnants Museum, and traveled just outside the city to see the Cu Chi tunnels used by the Vietcong during the war. Enjoy our pictures!
