We arrived at around eleven Vietnam time, and were whisked away to the hotel by our tour company's person in Ho Chi Minh.
The first thing we noticed was people on scooters. Everywhere. In fact, the first thing I saw out of the car window was two women on a scooter flying past our car, the second woman balancing a large television.
The whole city seems to be under construction, it appeared that at every junction there was a crane or large earth mover. But I couldn't concentrate on the outside of the car for long.
During the whole of the trip from the airport, the guide was warning us about everything dangerous in Ho Chi Minh. In Japanese. Things sound a lot more dangerous when the only parts of a sentence you can understand is '...and never, ever'...'or you'll die'.
Well, were in our beautiful five star hotel, and I have to say that I'm loving all the luxury that money can buy, (especially when you're a wealthy foreigner)
Out and about
