The Parisian Life of Ho Chi Minh City
The beautiful and diverse Ho Chin Minh seen from above
The former colonial city kept its charm
When you are in Ho Chin Minh City you ask will ask yourself that “which part of Europe am I visiting ?” The town hall building, with its ochre yellow color and with its ornamental clock seems like it was being brought from Provence( Southern France ).
It has a big Roman style villa, the Hotel Majestic is an identical with one from the French Riviera. Not even the Notre Dame Cathedral built from red bricks would not make you believe that you’re actually in Normandy.

But Cambodia is so much more than ancient temples and memorials dedicated to the victims of the reign of terror.
Cambodia might be poor and still rebuilding itself, but it is imbued with a kind of magic that is difficult to resist. One way to enjoy this magic is to spend some time in the countryside, and get to know the culture, the people, and experience the small pleasures of day to day life, like sunshine, good food and friendly people. Here are top 5 Cambodian villages for rural holidays. …
