4.  Jade Emperor Pagoda:

The Pagoda is also called Phuoc Hai Tu. The president visited the Jade Pagoda in District 1 to “pay tribute to and admire the cultural traditions of Vietnam,”. It's a must-see attraction in most tours to Ho Chi Minh City. What was be said between the President and the Monk, also a lot of other cutural stories which needs telling is awating you.

5.  It's time for lunch with Bun Cha (Obama Combo):

President Obama ate it during his night out with Bourdain in Hanoi. This dish is now on CNN top essential dish for tourist coming to Vietnam. No need to go to Hanoi, we're tasting the same style of it, right here in Saigon with fried seafood spring roll and a bottle of beer Hanoi. We're enjoying "US President Menu" guys. :)
