Breakfast was a little different this morning.
After brekky we met Cat's Mum's friend Aunty Diem and exchanged local gifts and snacks with eachother.
Next was shopping time at Diamond Plaza.
When planning this holiday, we chose to return to Saigon to relax and re-live familiarity before going onto Singapore.
We had intended for it to be a small dent into the budget.
A$1500 (30 Million dong) lasted us two days :S
This morning we converted another A$1000 (20 Million dong) to hopefully last the next 2 days including paying for the hotel.
This money lasted less than an hour in my hands (not Cat's) after I went watch shopping :|
So much for lasting 2 days...
After the stint at the Ben Thanh Market we found this place nearby.

After dinner we went to the International Tourist Club which is the New World hotel's Casino.
What a disappointment, it was very old and un-inspiring, so much so that we didnt stay longer than 10 minutes.
Of course it took some of my money, only a little though :)
