We spend most of the day wandering around the city. It's a hot and steamy day and the boys get tired of walking around by the afternoon. We visited the large Ben Thanh market which is a hot and crowded. It's not easy to shop and negotiate prices with the heat...and the boys just want to move on! We stopped at another shopping centre which is a little more modern and vaguely air conditioned and manage to buy a few things including fake 'beats' headphones. We end up buying more ray ban sunnies for $2 a pair as well.
Although the boys have been coping really well with their new surroundings, it isn't easy to do a lot of sightseeing with them. We manage a half day or so but then they get tired and a bit overwhelmed with the noise, heat and crossing busy roads...and start nagging to go back to the hotel. In reality they would probably prefer to splash in the pool and watch tv all day :)
On the way home we discovered a fantastic and very hip homewares store/cafe called L'Uuisine. It sells funky light fittings and furniture and also has a yummy cafe where we eat our lunch. Near the entrance there is a foosball table which the boys have a great time playing with. I did enquire if it was for sale...so yes, it could me ours for $2000, might have to think about it! It did become the focus for my photo of the day.
