Ho Chi Minh City

16 January
Saigon, or Sài Gòn in Vietnamese, was merged with the surrounding province in 1976 and renamed Ho Chi Minh City to celebrate the reunification of north and south at the end of the Vietnam War. The city's name comes from Ho Chi Minh, the communist revolutionary leader who is credited with uniting the country. Ho Chi Minh City is the biggest city of Vietnam. In the morning we visited the War Remnants Museum which was very sad but definitely worth visiting to learn about the war.
