saigon traffic
Well, here we are now in Ho Chi Minh city (Saigon). Took a bus from Cambodia which brought us into this city with the most incredible traffic. One would think that the city consisted off tens of thousands of suicidal Vietnamese on mopeds.
There are no apparent road rules other than small gives way to big! There is no stopping for pedestrians crossing the road either; so to cross you have to walk very slowly out into it and they all wizz around you. No sudden moves that can't be guessed by the drivers or you end up as road kill.
So a really buzzing city, more great food on the street corners, old men and women doing aerobics in the park, and karaoke. Had to try it, but instead of being put in with all locals we got put in a room full of Aussies! Probably more fun in the long run.
