5-week Southeast Asia solo trip reflections part 5
Second stop, third city: Sài Gòn, Việt Nam
Wednesday, March 4, 2026
I realized that I completely glossed over my stop in Sài Gòn during my SEA recap series. I think it was mainly because I was only there for a few days. However, that's not an excuse,
especially because I had an enjoyable time with my aunt and uncle who hung out with me like they were taking me around as their kid.
I've said it before, but all my aunts and uncles are my third parents and it has been a joy to get to know them over the past decade since I met them in-person for the first time.
I wanted to ride the new metro so that we did and we went to the attraction, Suối Tiên Amusement Park. We went around taking photos and hung out for a few hours. We went back to their place,
had dinner, and then I went out to a rooftop bar where they specialize in cocktails later that night. I chatted with a visitor there who was visiting from Bangkok but planning to move there soon.
The next day, I went to the spa for a massage and facial, went back for dinner, and prepared for my trip to Bangkok.
