Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

November 13 – 15, 2025

Flew south to Ho Chi Minh City for <36 hours before heading to China! Some of the staff working at our hostel were really excited to hear that we were from Indiana as they love Caitlin Clark 🙂 Stayed in a shoe box of a hostel, but it was great – free breakfast and nice staff:

We wanted to have a history focused visit to Ho Chi Minh City. We visited a shop making and selling locally crafted art followed by a visit to the Vietnam War Museum.

Following our museum visit, we motorbiked back to our hostel – Ho Chi Minh traffic is crazy!

I wanted to try durian before leaving SE Asia. Durian is a polarizing fruit for its odor and onion-like flavor. Glad I tried it but not my favorite:

Fantastic Banh Mi for less than $2!

Headed to the airport – leaving SE Asia and headed to China!
