Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.






















































































































































































































































































































































After a 7 hour busride from Phnom Penh, we finally arrived in Saigon. We stayed at Ngoc Thao guesthouse in District 1, which was great. About $20 per night. I’ll also recommend the restaurant ”Flavor of India” and the GO2 bar which had a pretty nice rooftop bar with happy hour all night.
The traffic in this city is insane, with only a few cars and MILLIONS of motorcycles. There’s at least three people riding on each of them, and we saw some carrying up to six people! I felt like I was risking my life every time I tried to cross the street.
We went to the War museum (needless to say, Vietnam has also been through awfully rough times) and the Reunification Palace. The bomb proof basement made me think of Twin Peaks.
