After many days in Vietnam, you will also miss your Local foods (filipino foods). So we were "uberly" delighted when we saw the Jolibee Fastfood Restaurant somewhere in the streets of Vietnam, Saigon.
We also tried having our dinner at the Night Market in Saigon, Vietnam and damn! Their foods are great! I think we had our dinner here 3 times already! And I was amazed at how beautiful their food presentation is and how affordable! It already feels like eating in a class A restaurant, minus the Ambiance. :) Sure is one the Best Places To Eat In Vietnam.
Here are some snapshots I got around Vietnam, Saigon on our Bus Tour to the Underground Cu Chi Tunnels. I also took a picture of our very talkative tour guide who explained the history of Vietnam and how they were colonized by the Americans.
This was our first day in Vietnam and we had our first taste of Vietnamese food at a Noodle Restaurant near our hotel in Pham Ngu Lao street. The Vietnamese noodles were great so we sure had a very good breakfast that time.
This is the Ben Thanh Market In Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. This is one of the cleanest Market I've ever seen in my entire lifetime! I bought some Vietnamese Figurines for a very reasonable price too!
This is the Notre Dame Cathedral In Vietnam Saigon. The first Catholic Church we found and went to in Vietnam.
When we decided to go inside to pray, the lady guarding the entrance stopped us because we all look like tourists. She thought that we're just gonna take pictures inside while the mass is going on. And since she can't understand english, we just made a sign of the cross to let her know that we're not there to take pictures but to pray and it sure was effective!
Ninoy Aquino International Airport
After staying at SM Mall Of Asia for a very long time, we went straight to Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) for our flight to Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam. We took the Cebu Pacific International Flight and the departure time is 12 AM so it was kind of tiring.
In The Plane
We were required to fill up the Arrival-Departure Declaration Card. As you can see in the picture, it says "The Socialists republic Of Vietnam" which gives me some thrills and excitements (since it's a communist country).

Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam International Airport
We arrived at the Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam International Airport at 1AM even though the flight is supposed to be 2 hours. Note: Philippines is advanced in one hour compared to Vietnam.


No Picture, No Picture!
Did I mention that I got some THRILLS when I was filling up the form?? Now this one's worst! This is where the migration officer stamps your Passport. This is the only picture I got because when It was my turn for my passport to be stamped and my father was the one taking the picture, the Migration officer saw my Dad taking picture and then suddenly slamed his window and said at loud "NO PICTURE NO PICTURE!" And damn it was so scary! I thought we will be deported back to the Philippines because of what we've done! The Ho Chi Minh International Airport sure is not the Best Places In The World to stay! T_T
