Saigon River Cruise: Don't do the Saigon River - Do the Mekong

  • What happens when you have 7 million people in a city? They produce garbage. And where does that garbage go in most third world countries. That's right. In the river. So if you want to shell out $10 or more to float around in smelly and garbage ridden water go ahead.

    At Least Do This: Take some pictures of life on the other side of the river. I got a couple of really good ones.
    Alternative: Go on one of the Mekong River tours where the water is cleaner and the prices are cheaper.

     I see now that I missed some important things in Saigon last time -- for instance the post office! Good tips and photos!
