First day Ho Chi Minh City So we had a few hours to kill before we could check in. Lucky this city never closes and all the tourist things open at 7am.

Then we headed to the War Rememorants Museum which was an eye opener. I mean the American war was harsh, the yanks killed innocent women and children mas...
