    • Traffic is really bad in Ho Chi Min, in particular there are zillions of motorbikes on the road, and no road rules. Put the three together and you'll realize that road crossing can become quite an adventure. Af first, at least...

    The best way to cross a busy road is to remember the followings:
    - cars do not stop (never) for pedestrians
    - motorbikes do not stop for pedestrians
    - bicycles do not stop for pedestrians

    However you can try the following: if there are no cars in sight (quite often), walk very slowly across the road... always at the same pace, and don't stop for any reason: motorbikes and bicycles will miraculously avoid you.

     Nice start to Saigon. You had to travel all that way to sample caffe' italiano! I am surprised there was no shisha lounge too. Ciao!
