Ho Chi Minh .. Saigon, tunnels, the American war and Mr. Bean.

We arrived in Saigon (Ho Chi Minh to people who live outside of the city) after our long, bumpy crowded bus trip from Nha Trang. It was 5:30 in the morning when we arrived and we started off on foot, turning away all the moto drivers towards where we thought the hostel was. Turns out...

Saigon Story

Saigon Woo hoo! We are finally in Vietnam ! Although we have enjoyed both Laos and Cambodia there was always the sense of the adventure begins in Vietnam . Saigon or HCMC or Ho Chi Minh City is far more built up and advanced than you would imagine given its history. It is much more akin to...

Where You Go? Mo-toe-bike?!

My trip has officially begun, and as soon as I stepped out of the airport I could feel the city's energy. The energy is raw and it pumps faster through my body with every honk of a motorbike, which averages about 8 honks a second. The very first thing that I noticed was that houses seemed...
