Saigon buildings...


Because so many people from different countries have lived in Saigon, lots of the buildings are like buildings in France and China. There are also some very tall buildings being built too - they are called SKYSCRAPERS, because they scrape the sky!!

Today I painted Craig, Toni and Daniel. Here is a photo of it.

Saigon zoo


Yesterday we went to the zoo in Saigon. It has about 1000 different animals and some of them are endangered. I saw the tigers and crocodiles and elephants. I got so close to the elephants that one tried to touch me with his trunk! 



Here is the map we used to get around

Lunar New Year...

 Full moon in Vietnam
Flowers for Tet

Pink flowers
Tet is the Vietnamese New Year which is celebrated on the first day of the new lunar calendar (that's the 'moon' calendar). They put flower decorations all over the city. The pink flower is for north Vietnam and the yellow flower is for south Vietnam. This year it is celebrated on February 10th.

Feeding the crocodiles...

On Wednesday Mummy, Daddy, Daniel and me went to feed the crocodiles!!! There is a fun park near Saigon where there are lots of rides and fun things to do, but you can also feed crocodiles with shark meat. There was a big stick and on the stick was a piece of string and attached to the string was a piece of shark meat. I then put the meat over the railings and into the water where the crocodiles were - like in the picture above. I felt scared because the crocodiles kept jumping up, and at first I didn't want to do it, but my Daddy did it and showed me it was ok, so I had a go. The crocodiles got very full because I fed them five times and Daniel fed them twice!



The place we went to is in the second picture and here are another couple of photos to show you what it looked like when we fed them
