It's a Sunday, I'm out of the country, and I'm in church. Rare. Usually, when I'm out of town, I tend to miss Sunday mass. However, because Notre Dame in HCMC is a tourist attraction, plus it was near our hotel, we made it a point to attend mass. Part of it was in Vietnamese, and the other parts in English.
After mass, RT and I met Kayestercan and Dr RMM to head to Chinatown for lunch and some shopping. We had so much to eat, we could hardly move! But the $80 worth of steamboat we had was yummy. Here are just some of the dishes we ordered.

Shopping was quite a disappointment. The main shopping building was smelly, stuffy and didn't offer anything interesting. Plus hardly any bargaining could be done. A total waste of time, I felt.
Anyway, we headed back to Ben Thanh Market (yes, again!) and then back to the Dong Khoi area for some last minute shopping. Then RT and I headed to the backpacker's area to collect the Ao Dai I took measurements for just yesterday. Very pretty. Probably one of the very few highlights of this trip.
