The Purple Gypsy

Well how can I explain Ho Chi Minh City .....busy, busy, busy. Hanoi, the city I used to live in is rather busy, but Ho Chi Minh City is another level of busy. But besides the buzz of the town there are also a whole lot of positives. I had the opportunity to visit a whole lot of amazing sites that I really enjoyed. The Saigon Central Post Office I visited Ho Chi Minh City in December (I know it was long ago, I have been busy), and so it was around Christmas time. The highlight of the visit to the Post Office for me was seeing little children come and post their letters to Father Christmas. Since living in Asia and being a teacher, children are the first thing I notice wherever I go. I love seeing their reaction to their surrounding or the situations they are put in. But other than the cute children, The Post Office was absolutely beautiful. Clocks representing times of different countries in the world hang from the walls, the roof was hal...

A little boutique hotel nestled in the gorgeous town of Hoi An. Upon arrival we were greeted by an amazing Vietnamese lady who was by our side for the rest of our stay. She could speak English very well so it made it very easy if we needed any help. We did arrive before check-in time ,however our room was ready within 15 minutes of arrival. The room was absolutely lovely and very spacious. We were three people so it consisted of one huge double bed and one single bed. The room also included a lounge area and a balcony over-looking the gorgeous countryside of Hoi An. The bathroom was very clean and decorated with class. It included a shower, toilet and wash basin. We were very impressed abut the quality of the accommodation. We had a 3 night stay, and with this was a welcome dinner for the first night. It was a delicious and flavorsome traditional meal. They serve this in their restaurant located on the property. I was very impressed with the meal, w...
