Ho Chi Minh City

Ho Chi Minh City is the end of my travel and the beginning of a settle down for the coming 4 weeks. One week has already passed by and I discovered the city with the local speed on the back of a motorbike, guided from my aunt and cousins. The feeling of entering an unknown city, guided by your family, gets immediately completely different. Sweet, openhearted welcomed I move into my prepared room in the big house of my aunt. And the way it is staying with your family, there is never a lack of food or caring…
I listened to traditional & modern Vietnamese music concerts, ate Vietnamese hotpot with goat meat and heart got some new Vietnamese dresses tailored and learned how ride my motorbike.
HCM is magic, modern, huge and always busy loud, skyscraper and live concert bars meet Vietnamese haute couture and pure street markets. The streets are never empty. The weather is humid hot and makes you avoid the sun during midday. I visit my grandmother s tomb, my mother s birthplace and listen to a lot of stories which make this time be a profound touching one.
Btw - I m coming back home, earlier than thought. Flight is booked.
