Mekong Delta

On the third day of my trip in Ho Chi Minh City, my new friends and I went on a Mekong Delta tour and it was such an adventure and unforgettable experience.

Ho Chi Minh City

My trip to Ho Chi Minh was awesome because I was able to relax and know more about the people there. I rode in the bus from Phnom Penh and I dropped my bags off to the hostel in District 1. On the first day, I began exploring the city and I went to the beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral, the Post Office, War Museum and Ben Thanh Market.

 

On the second day of my trip, I went to the temple and Cu Chi tunnels.

 

During my trip, I met nice and great people. They are now my new friends.

Saigon Notre-Dame Basilica

The cathedral was constructed for French colonists and was between 1863 and 1880 with two bell towers.

Phnom Kulen

Mount Kulen is formed of sandstones.  This site way very important during the peak of Angkor civilisation. The people quarried the stone blocks to create huge temples. 

Angkor Silk Farm

Angkor Silk Farm is one of the most scenic countryside in Cambodia. During my free guided tour, I learned about the meticulous process of silk-making from different kind of mulberry trees. According to the tour guide, the best silks are produced if the worms are eating variety of mulberry leaves. 

Amok - Khmer Food

Khmer food is very delicious because of the flavours are more subdued and are less spicy. 

When I was touring in Siem Reap, Cambodia, I always prefer to eat amok. Amok is a fish which is mostly cooked with coconut milk, egg, peanuts and other local ingredients. This was served with steamed jasmine rice.

Angkor Wat

As part of fulfilling my dreams, I travelled to Siem Reap,  Cambodia. I visited  Angkor Wat, the old capital of Cambodia. The place is very majestic and the people is very kind.
