Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam February 3rd-5th

The most notable thing about Saigon is the traffic composed primarily of motorcycles going every possible direction at the same time. As a pedestrian, traffic never stops so you have to just walk out into the flow and everyone avoids you - no joke! Check out this video I took from my hotel overlooking a street in downtown Saigon.


I made it to Saigon early this AM February 5th. Jet lag seems under control and I'm hoping to get out a bit this afternoon. I just watched the Chicago Bears lose the super bowl to Indianapolis - bummer. So far Vietnam reminds me alot of Southern China. Staying at the New World Hotel which is pretty nice.

Goodness! And it is a great idea to keep these notes on where you are traveling. A couple of pictures, etc, not to overwhelm as the list will grow and grow.
Hillary?
