Saigon



Beneath a sky painted with the hues of cherry-red and orange, we first encountered Saigon, bathed in the exquisite colors of a cocktail-like sunrise.

After a sudden downpour, Saigon wore a misty veil, resembling a monochrome painting, evoking a sense of wonder, much like the day we first laid eyes on it.

Amidst this picturesque backdrop, we delighted in the flavors of tropical fruits like mango steen, passion fruit, guava, and the refreshing tang of oranges, accompanied by a delectable array of local cuisine.

The people of Ho Chi Minh, with their kind hearts and beautiful smiles, welcomed us with warmth and hospitality, making us feel right at home.

The bustling motorbike parade, with its pulsating energy, set our hearts racing, much like an engine propelling us toward a brighter future.

This place, Saigon, has a unique charm that provides comfort and serenity. It's a place where love and kindness are abundant, and it never fails to bring a smile to our faces.
