GETTING OUT OF HO CHI MINH CITY

    In HCMC there are travel cafes everywhere, and believe me they are all willing to set you up with an 'all inclusive' day trip out to places like the Mekong Delta area, the Cu Chi tunnels etc. These trips cost 5 bucks on average. These cafes literally line the streets, they all sell the same thing at the same price. You will most likely be going on a mini bus with people from all of these cafes, so it really doesn't matter where you go.  Really it doesn't. We signed up at the place offering a free hour of internet. When the time came when we could actually use the internet....oh the woman who had helped us suddenly wasn't incharge of that anymore, we never did get online.  All the pamphlets list about 10 different things you are supposed to see on that day. If you compare the pamphlet to what you actually saw, there seems to be a lot of things missing.
What we did see
