A visit to the War Remnants Museum in Ho Chi Minh City

Written by

How can you travel to Ho Chi Minh and not go and see the War Remnants Museum?

It is ranked up there in the top places to visit when you are in Ho Chi Minh and it was second on our list of things to see after The Independence Palace.

As we have children we always plan to get to the places we visit in the afternoon.

This is because it is hard to organise them so we can maximise our times at the places we see.

So we headed into the city by bus with the same plan as last time, getting to the museum for the afternoon session.

The Remnants Museum opening times are below for you if you need them.

Anti-Theft Travel Bags, do you need to buy one to travel overseas?

Written by

Are you thinking about buying a few Anti-Theft Travel Bags before you leave for your next overseas adventure?

Well I did, now we have a few that we bought before we left.

We had decided where we were travelling to and had started the research on our trip.

Like many of the destinations we travel to you look at the possible dangers that can happen and this trip was no different.

The standard ones popped up like “Be aware of your belongings as there are pick pockets and bag slashers everywhere”, “Your bag will be ripped off your back crossing the road by people on motorbikes”, “They skim all of your Credit Card and Passport details just by brushing up against you on the bus” and more.

Of course after reading this you have to watch the Youtube videos of this happening and it makes you more paranoid about it whether it happens to you or not.

So I was on a mission after this to find a few solutions that would deter and make us less likely targets.

I stumbled across a few articles about Anti-Theft Travel Bags and then I started to Google the different brands and types.

There certainly are many different types and brands.

So read on to learn more about the benefits and features of getting yourself a Anti-Theft Travel Bag.
