Well I stayed another day, and yes it is because I wanted to see Transformers, all so I was putting off the three days of riding I am going to be doing, that would be 300km. So thought I would go to the early session and that would leave me the rest of the day for shopping and getting ready for the ride.
Transformers lived up to my expectations, it was really good, it was even better to watch it with a cinema full Vietnamese, because there humor is a little different to the West or mine at some points I was laughing and they weren’t, and at some points they laughed and I am not really sure what they were laughing at but it made for a good movie anyway.
So after the movie it was time for shopping, that’s right ladies shopping, but guy’s shopping and yes Cherie that is a lot different from Norm shopping. I knew what I wanted, a new T shirt and a Back up Memory stick for all my photo’s, so for the shirt it was off to the Market, I had done some scouting and a bit of haggling to see what the price was I could get it for so I was prepared.
I walked into the market and within a few minutes I had found what I was looking for, and it help that I kinda knew how much it cost, so I asked the price and there it was 120 000 dong, so I said 50000 dong, it should be around 60000 dong, got the this is a good price and all the other things that go with it. Rather entertaining if you have the time to spend, I ended up settling for 65000, O and before those people who have been to Vietnam say that’s a lot, it is a sports t-shirt not a normal t-shirt.
After this I wandered through the streets away from the tourist area and found a computer store, picked up a branded USB drive, 8 gig for $25nz which was a lot better than I had found else were. The rest of the day was packing and preparation for the ride out of Ho Chi Min.
