From the I walk towards the Notre-Dame cathedral and i found a Vinicom shop to buy a phone sim card for my phone which means i am now online. It cost 137000 vnd for the SIM and a 600 mb plan which will slow once used.
It should last me the month. as with the last couple of blog i'm using the voice dictation feature on my tablet to record it is hard to find a quiet place in Ho Chi Minh to be able to do this without any other distractions upsetting the text conversion. Hopefully it works alright. Have been to the Cathedral and got some good photos.
A funny thing that I saw was a woman having her wedding photos taken in the middle of a busy intersection with thousands of cars coming at them ... now that is creative photography. I got some photos of that as well so that will be funny once I post photos back up on this blog.
It is just like in India in some regards. After visiting a french bakery for breakfast, I sought out a nice quiet location to speak my blog into my tablet and as I walked across a park in search of a spot I got told off again by the police for walking on grassed areas. agggh! Very similar to my experience to that in India.
Today I stepped in a dog shit (at least that's what i prefer to assume it was). Sharon will certainly find that funny given our conversation at Bangkok Airport about using one of the fake turds I bought in Bangkok for a prank :-)

I found the infamous Jade Pagoda. I think I got some great photos. Wow a lot of very hot walking today. Now sitting in backstreet cook shop watching the most nervous looking dogs I have ever seen.
From here I shall walk to the war museum.
