Last stop Saigon

Tuesday morning woke up and didnt even think about taking a shower in my bathroom. Went downstairs with my stuff checked out and got some Pho for breakfast. After that waited for the bus. They came around 830 met a Korean family and also a girl from Jersey. It took about 2 hours to get to the tunnels. This is where the Americans battled the Vietcong who made basically an underground city. It was very interesting to see the work that they were able to accomplish at night. Also, got to shoot an AK47 and go through some tunnels. After the tour headed back to the city where i was on a mission to find another hotel.
First looked again at Hotel 64 which was booked and there other branches were booked too, however she said that she owned another hotel with a different name right across the street from Hotel 127. So I went to look at that and it looked fine at first, charging 15 dollars with AC. So i said okay, went to grab my stuff from the other hotel, but first had a tasty doner kebab. Finally came back to the new hotel i was staying in, put my bags in the room and attempted to put on the AC. Of course it didnt work. So at this point i just wanted to take a shower, since it has been a couple days. Got into the bathroom and about to turn the shower on and notice that there are ants everywhere. This is just unacceptable to me especially if you are charging 15, which is sort of a high price considering the location i was in. So i have had enough of these shitty hotels where i dont feel comfortable in. I got my bags and left. Came back down the main road, found an actual looking hotel went inside and asked how much. They told me 18 for a mini room so i went to see it, yes it is small, but it is clean, which is what i need at this point in my trip. So i took it, the price includes breakfast and dinner. Tonight is my last night inVietnam before heading back to Korea tomorrow night at midnight.
What a journey it has been.
