Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh City - never know which to use) has been kind of weird! It is like any western city - wide roads, 'proper' shops, traffic that for the most part obeys the rules of the road and tall buildings ... And I don't like it!
I wanted my last couple of days to be fun, drinking cheap beer at the local bars and eating street food. Maybe I was in the wrong place but they were all proper bars (with doors and proper seats) and there's even a Pho 24 chain a bit like a Vietnamese maccy d's!
I've wandered round the city a bit to go and see the museums but apart from being able to cross roads better ... It wasn't as friendly as the other places!
Apart from the bl00dy cyclo taxi people - as a single person walking the city ... OMG!! Bu€€er off!! This one guy followed me for 3 blocks! What is so wrong with walking!
Anyway a couple of days was more than enough for me - in fact I wish I had had more time in Hanoi, Hue or Hoi An instead!
