Just arrived in Ho Chi Minh City!
Formerly known as Saigon, it changed almost 50 years ago but apparently a lot of people still call it that way.
I don’t have a lot of opinions yet to be honest.
I landed at 2 PM.
Just took a Grab (the Asian Uber) from the airport straight to the hostel.
The receptionist informed me my visa is valid just until the 19th.
And I was thinking of staying until the 29th, so I need to change my itinerary again.
But this time I fucked up.
When I was applying for my eVisa, I just understood wrong and then missed the dates.
But this kind of stuff happens, not much to do here.
And this can mean another country.
Maybe that trip to Korea I was wondering about.
Will need to solve this in the next couple of days, will keep you guys posted…
After check-in, I just went for a walk around the area I will stay.
Found a cool place and had a Banh Mi, one of the most traditional Vietnamese foods. It’s just a sandwich inside a baguette (the French left a lot of influences here) with local ingredients as fillings! I really enjoyed it!
Then I found a really nice cafe right next to my hostel, probably the place I’m going to come to a lot on this trip!
And I’m here right now, 6 PM, writing this post!
I’m feeling very happy and grateful for being in Vietnam, the 26th country I’ve stepped in!
Reminding myself of the incredible life I have!
