We stopped by Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) before catching a flight to Nha Trang the following day. Even though our time here was short, we can tell you that this city is INSANELY busy! 10 million people, 6 million scooters. The traffic is chaos every second of the day and to add to it, we don't think there are any rules as to how folks drive around here! Amazingly enough, drivers are pretty good at dodging scooters, bicycles, motorcycles, trucks, pedestrians and other cars when driving across 4-5 lanes of traffic!
Early morning traffic that wasn't bad at all; night before, completely saturated with 10x the number of vehicles (would've taken a picture but didn't want to get run over!)
The neighbourhood we hung out in for the day
Food was good in Saigon too of course...and the price was even better! We found a Vietnamese rice noodle chain restaurant called Pho 24...Hank got a decent sized bowl of chicken pho, springrolls and a coke for $4! We went back the next morning for some more before we left for the airport :)
