to start the weekend off right and because we are completely spoiled expats, farah and i had to get some wine in the singapore air gold class lounge before our flight. what will we do when we have to return to the "normal life of american citizens?"
so while dirk was hard at work in australia offshore, i took a weekend off work and traveled with farah to vietnam and met up with her husband in ho chi minh city, vietnam. the weekend was filled of eating, drinking, and shopping... all things tops on an expat vacay.
we stayed at the rex's hotel in the middle of ho chi minh. this hotel was featured in the book "1000 places to see before you die" for its great views on the roof top bar. one down, 999 more things to check off.
mr. ho chi minh himself infront of a really cool building that we never figured out what it was... this was directly infront of our hotel.
