Another day chilling out in Saigon!
Cho Quan Church – Constructed in 1882 by Father Nicolas Ham, who died in 1886 and was buried under the foundation of the church.
HCMC Central Post Office – This was easily the most impressive post office I’ve visited – Beautiful!
An old Vietnamese guy taking a little time out for himself.
Much needed rain to clear the air.
Sushi at the Sushi Bar – This is the first time I’ve visited a proper Sushi restaurant and it didn’t disappoint. The place was really buzzing and every seat was taken. Every piece of Sushi I tried was excellent- Even the smoked eel I thought I’d end up spitting out! My favs were the scallops, tuna and salmon. What’s your fav Sushi?
Top three favorite sushi: saba (mackerel), tako (octopus) and abalone.
It sounds like you know your Sushi Natalie :)
I tried the tako but wasn’t impressed… a bit to chewy for me!
BTW, I’m digging your time in Laos and Vietnam. We’re headed there next year (Thailand again this year with the addition of Cambodia). I’m taking notes from your trips!
When you get back to travelling be sure to update your blog, I’ve added it to my RSS reader.
Chris, I’m not a sushi man, but your food shots look really appetising.
