Norm read my post and he reminded me that I forgot to wrote about the main thing I wanted to do on Sunday in town. And it was important- for me….To have a dip powder manicure which they do not do on the ship, and also a pedicure. In the shop we looked for the shirt for Norm, we asked about a nail salon and there was one right next door. So we went up the stairs to find it. The young woman didn’t understand about the dip powder and by the time she read what I wrote on Google translate, she had already started the pedicure. Turns out that they don’t do the dip powder. So after my $10 pedicure, she took me by the hand and we crossed the street about a half block down to a nail salon that did the manicure I wanted. She knows how to navigate those motorbikes!

All in all, a very fun and successful two days in Ho Chi Minh City.
