Ho Chin Minh City, the new Saigon

by Aidy_p - last update: Sep 4, 2008

Good Morning Vietnam

Xin Chaoo. The first thing that struck Jac and myself when we stepped out of Tan Son Nat airport was the intense heat. It was so very piercing. But once we were in the thick of action, not even the stickiness could stop us from moving around - Shopping, eating and experiencing the Vietnamese lifestyle, or whatever we could absorb in a short period of five days.
