We have some friends from Portland that had plans to visit relatives in Saigon (the center of Ho Chi Minh City) at the end of June. Since we’d been hoping to visit Vietnam and we were already in Southeast Asia, we decided to meet them there. Our son went to school with their son. At the tender age of 8-years-old, Ethan is an intrepid traveler, but he does miss his friends.

We arranged to meet at the Vincom Center near Ho Chi Minh Square, so the kids could go to World Games, the biggest and most modern game center in the city. The kids had a blast playing arcade games and air hockey. In short, it was a great way to entertain two young kids that need a break from sightseeing.
