i had so many reservations about ‘moving around’ so i’m very happy to hear that i dont have to worry naman pala.

thanks also for mentioning the sinh cafe. i almost booked with other travel organizers which charged as much as US75/pax for the cu chi tunnels tour! thanks to you, we were not ripped off. =)

thanks thanks! i’m getting excited by the day!

Wow, congratulations!

I think you can do most of the activities from this list, even the Cu Chi Tunnels tour. You can skip walking through the tunnels but that’s just one small portion of the tour. The rest of the activities are done above ground (like the demonstration of the VC traps, the reconstruction of the camps etc).
As for the Mekong River tour, the only “balancing act” that you need to do is when you go on the small paddle boats. But it’s pretty safe and there will be lots of people assisting you.

Re: your hotel, 15 minutes from the city center is not so bad. Taxis are available 24 hours and it’s not so expensive. Traffic is bad lang naman during rush hour because of all those MOTORCYCLES But I noticed that cab drivers are already experts when it comes to navigating their way around those bikes.

As for night life, I haven’t really gone to any night markets. The only thing we’ve really done at night was to have wonderful dinners and maybe have a couple of beers (which you cannot do pala;) ). And to be honest, I’d really rather sleep by 9pm hahaha.

Enjoy your trip! Ingat!

i have crossed out the cu chi tunnels fr my list. but do u think i can still do the mekong river tour?

and we are looking at a boutique hotel which is about 15mins from city center. ok lang ba yun or will we be losing out due to the travel time?
