Last Night in Ho Chi Minh City

Tonight is our last night Ho Chi Minh City before we get the sleeper coach tomorrow evening to Nha Trang, which is rougly 10 hours away on the east coast. I got a few photos today, but I haven't really been bothered to, when it's this hot and humid is such a pain to have to get my camera out the bag!

I still cant get over how manic this city really is, and it's difficult getting used to crossing the roads like you have a death wish. I was reading a magazine in a cafe today which gave tips to the roads in Vietnam. It said that if someone is in front of you in your line of sight then you have to give way to them. I don't know how the hell this works, but it seems to, even though people on bikes on purposely don't look at each other so they don't have to give way to them.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

We caught our 07:50am flight with Air Asia to Ho Chi Minh City, which was a short flight arriving there at about 9:15am. We booked a guesthouse last night which is very homely, and the retired couple that run it are very nice. They were helpful enough to email me last night telling me what to ask the bus driver so we knew where to got off when making our way from the airport.
