READ POSTCARDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

I am writing from Vietnam which is living up to all promises. What a brilliant city - it used to be called the 'Paris of Asia' because of its wide, tree lined avenues and opulent villas.

We have been getting around this old city on 'cyclos' which is a great way to see things up close and properly. One place definitely worth visiting is Cho Lon, Ho Chi Minh's Chinatown where you can haggle with the vendors and find some really amazing bargains. We spent most of the day there on Friday.

We were also very drawn to the stunning cathedral at Tay Ninh which is worth a daytrip. Sadly our trip is over in another 3 days, I can't believe it, am ready to book the next one just to have something to look forward to!

Bye for now!
