It's time to leave Phnom Penh for Ho Chi Minh City. We took Mekong Express Bus. The bus we took has an on-board toilet and has wi-fi access. We were also provided with a box of pastries, a bottle of water, and a wet tissue for the trip. The trip took around 7 hours. This includes a rest stop at Krong Bavet, a casino town at the Cambodia-Vietnam border, and immigration processing at the border.

We crossed this beautiful bridge.

Motorcycles everywhere - a sign that you're in Vietnam.
We arrived in the central part of Ho Chi Minh City. We checked in at Dragon Palace Hotel.
We decided to check out the shopping scene here. We walked from our hotel to our first stop, Saigon Square. You can find a lot of clothing and accessories such as bags in here.
