Saigon - Phu Quoc dreaming island

Hello you all!

My second day in Ho Chi Minh was absolutely great: went to the Fine Arts museum where I could appreciate contemporary and modern paintings, mostly all about the war, sculpture from the X to early XXth century, particuly appreciated the funeral Nguyen Toi sculpture. Then my friend Monh took me on his motorbike to this great uncovered swimming pool, spend the afternoon there, went back to eat a lot of fresh spring roll of all kind and finally experienced going to the cinema: not much choice there, so in between Valentine's day and Alice in Wonderland, I chose the second one, the 3D version, it was quite a great experience. I was the only occidental, first time! It was really funny to see people's reaction and behaviour during the film. Weirdest thing is the high restriction of 130 cm to get in (there were children anyway!) just like you can not wear a white or skin coloured bathing suit in the public swimming pools!

Anyway the next day I woke up early to get my flight to Phu quoc, paradisiac island near the Cambodian border. It's amazing. One picture to give you an idea.
So I've been spending most of my time on the beach, chilling out, walking along the beach the first day for hours, saw a traumatic corpse of the remains of a dead smelly dog, but really enjoyed my walk, got back by a british guy on a motorbike (thank you so much!!!) and met these canadian dudes and Dominik (from England) and Robin (from Amsterdam). So, I'm basically spending all my time with those two guys, enjoying the beach, playing sometimes volleyball, going every 20 minutes for a swin and that's about it! So great to chill out.

I've decided to stay here, then spend a couple of days in the Delta Mekong and take a fly back from Ho Chi Minh to Bankgok.(it costs like 50 euros) I'm unfortunately won't be crossing Cambodia, but at that point I'm too lasy, and I don't want to rush into it, so many places to see, anyway I'll be back for sure: this part of the world is too amazing.
