Adjacent to my hotel is the 68-story Bitexco Financial Tower. Built in 2010, it was the tallest building in Vietnam for a couple of years (I think it’s #3 or 4 now). I went to the sky bar on one of the upper floors before dinner, had a drink, and took a few pictures. Ho Chi Minh City is a huge city with over 10 million inhabitants, making it larger than New York City. As you can see from these pictures, the city has a lot of density and impressive modern high-rise buildings along its beautiful riverfront.

I hit it hard with medications and slept in this morning (and took a good nap in the afternoon) and am feeling much better this evening. Sitting here in the Hotel Majestic lobby bar planning my evening. I did get out this afternoon and walked to the Ben Thanh market about a mile from here. It is a famous “traditional” market here in the District 1 (the central business district of SaiGon) and it has to be experienced first hand. Blocks wide on each side packed as tight as can be with merchants of all sorts. Not exactly my favorite shopping experience, but a Saigon scene that must be seen!
