Hired a guy to take me around the Cholon Province, where most of the Chinese/Vietnamese dudes are. Definitely a difference in the look of the place compared to the markets and people of the other provinces. Especially as there seemed to be a large amount of people sitting around fixing re-conditoined electrcal items. I sat in one of those bycycle/chair/three wheeled things that the poor guy cycled around the city for over 2 hours, having to carry my fat arse! We also popped into a pharmacy, however i needed to get some cough medicine but she kept giving me tablets for intestinal disorders...for a moment i was thinking of checking my shorts..just in case she new something i didnt...!! The tour didnt end there though as i was dropped at the War Remnants Museum. I knew a little about the Vietnam war and thought it would be the most interesting of all the Museums in Saigon. Basically the Museum is dedicated to the study and collection of exhibits, displaying the aftermath and crimes against the Vietnam people during the War. To be honest i went in armed with my camera but once i saw the pictures (which were incredible) of all aspects of the war, displaying on the ground action, disfigured kids, body parts, firing lines, American GI's going mental on women and children, i couldn't take many pics, it didnt feel right at all. Plus the place was starting to fill with Americans and just listening to them talking to each other about lunch and their rooms and how much stuff costs...i couldnt stay for long. No doubt the Americans suffered a lot of torture, pain and great loses themselves and i feel really sorry for the GI's who have been mentally effected by the scenes of death and dismemberment and can only imagine what deranged and irrational killing that must have lead them to commit.

Anyway after that uplifting experience i got back to base and went to get a top up card for my Vietnamese Sim. However i think i was just about to get ripped off big time when this massive black dude comes over and starts asking questions....next thing im putting my money away and he's bought me a new Sim with shit loads of credit. Nice chap..if not a bit flash.
