Back to the Madness
... if it was served in petrol containers! We had a great night and it was a good way to say goodbye to our time in Vietnam. We hoped to see Becky and Amanda again in New Zealand or Australia but for now our bus ticket was booked and the following ...
Holiday in the Sun
... , "You're not taking my f*ckin' berries, assholes." But I'm sure foreign investment has improved Vietnam, I'm sure these improvements are part of the reason that I love the place, but I do think some ...
Right back where we started from
... about an hour I got to the border. This crossing is a bit quieter than some of the other ones between cambodia and vietnam, just a couple of dusty shacks a hundred yards apart and some bored officials. More like the typical border post you would ...
"Saigon. Shit I'm still in Saigon"
... heat I've become. Saigon, has been fantastic. For me it's just wonderful to have spent a few days in Saigon, as I've always been interested in the Vietnam War and this place has been synonymous with that, but it is just such a cool place! The initial ...
Guns and Ammo
... in the Cu Chi tunnels, where the Viet Cong managed to fend off the American 'White Devil' successfully for the duration of the Vietnam war and saw the poignant and shocking reality of what the US did there! Part of the experience is the chance to fire ...
Did someone say beauty parlour?!
Rush, rush, rush - oh how I hate being herded around like a sheep, or in this case a walking tourist ATM (everyone wants $$$ out of you!) So the tour thing, we have not really done much touristy stuff, mostly we have taken local transport and just ...
Saigon
... stupidity American-style setup. Anyway, no doubt about it, Leslie continued her tradition of keepin' on truckin'. Impressions of Vietnam (Saigon and Mekong, only) this time around: People were very friendly. Nobody ever tried to short-change us. ...
Stopover in Saigon
..and it really wasn't much more than a stopover - landed very late and had a 6am flight to Central Vietnam, so decided to sleep at the airport. Big mistake. The terminal was shut, so I had to sleep outside on the most uncomfortable plastic seats, either ...
There are 10 million motorbikes in Saigon
... utterly disregarded everything Australian history teaches Australians, as they too had served alongside the Americans and South Vietnamese in Vietnam. I guess it's just another show of Hanoi's communist practice forced on the south, much like naming the ...
VIETNAM!!!
... was just as excited as bob when he got up! we fell in love with mui ne, and as we have been trying to hurry up the coast of vietnam, we decided that this is our holiday, and we are going back to mui ne. we also heard that they got the go-ahead to build a ...
Good Morning Vietnam (Cheesy aren't we)
... city. We thought we were mad about football but this was crazy - everyone and his gran was out cheering and waving. Bit of a shame that we were leaving and couldn't join in really. (If anyone's curious, Vietnam went onto lose to Thailand 3-0 in the ...
The shepherds of Saigon
... for two tours, The first to Cu Chi tunnels, the second for twp days in the Mekong delta. Cu Chi tunnels are just outside Saigon so it only takes half a day. It's also incredibly interesting to see so we just laughed off being herded like sheep point to ...
The Rex
... off at district one - central Saigon. Immediately, we set out on foot for the Rex Hotel. During the American/Vietnam war, The Rex was the accomodation of choice for U.S. army officers. This colossal white building lights up ...
Cu Chi
... Got back into the city and cruised around and checked out some more of the city sights like the notre dame cathedral, the CBD and the saigon river. Have just finished sharing a few saigon beers and corn cobs with an ethopian...that was a first ...
Some Thoughts
... dusk - very beautiful. The food, though expensive (relatively speaking - about $2 US), was among the best we've had here in Vietnam. I think the Vietnamese food in the US is better than it is here. Strange, huh? There's something about Saigon, though I ...
Chuc Mung Nam Moi (Happy New Year)
... to breathe inside. We also saw a pretty cool two man dragon doing some impressive acrobats. The other sites to see in Saigon are related to the Vietnam war. The war Museum was vey interesting. I also took a trip to some underground tunnels at Cuchi but ...

Uncle Ho
... to watch the fishers in their basket boats and to see how they hauled in their nets each morning and night. South Vietnam is quite distinct in geography and in personality from the north...it is about 10-20 years ahead economically. Interesting...as ...
heading up north
... anyway, i'm totally shattered as you can probably tell by the lack of thoughts! i am looking forward to getting out of Saigon though, and travelling up north. i shall let you know how many more amazingly disturbingly confusing things i encounter on the ...
Home for two months
... kids, who are also given somewhere to live by the school. On Sunday we tagged along to the annual fundraising event held here in Saigon, where all the ex-pats (and some locals) came and spent some of their cash on a good cause. The kids are fantastic ...
Disturbing things in the War Remanents Museum
This museum has several US military aircraft and other hardware in the yard as you walk through the gates. Inside is a lot of information about the conflict that took place over 30 years ago, but from a different perspective. One area is ...
Elfte dag i Vietnam
Idag var vi foerst paa et flydende marked naer Cantho, hoppede derefter paa en bus tilbage til Saigon, hvor vi om aftenen skulle med nattoget til Nha Trang. I Saigon fik jeg ordnet en masse smaating, som f.eks. at faa hentet noget toej hos ...
Pirates!!
Pirates!! We are now crossing through the straights of Malacca! This is where there are a lot of pirates (no joke). So at all hours for the past 2 days students have been signed up for pirate watch!! I think it would be so much fun to get attacked by ...
Vietnam
... make a living outside of Saigon, since wages are so low everywhere else. That seemed to be the general consensus; Saigon is the city of the future in Vietnam, while the rest of the country in mired in the past. The next morning we went to the famous ...
Lost in Saigon
... up his new business as a loan shark! We ended up smuggling two litres of rum into a all night club called Lost in Saigon (which we highly recommend). We managed to trail ourselves out of bed at about 4pm the next day. Got ready and went for breakfast ...
Saigon
... me buy something. We went for a walk around and walked to the war museum which was quite harrowing, lots of pictures from the Vietnam War. (very one sided of course.) We also went to the Ho Chi Minh City museum which was actually quite good. We also ...
Gooooood Morning Vietnam
Hi peoples!!!! Jamangie takes over Saigon. It's an awsome town, a trillion motorcycles, a few rickshaw rides, and delicious street ...
The unjust realities of a cruel world.
... saw on of the saddest things I have ever had to experience during all of my travels. During my bus ride from Cambodia to Vietnam my bus made a random stop for some reason? There was a really cute little girl of about 6 years old sitting on the side of ...
Saigon
We left Cambodia 2 days ago to make our way to Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City) in the south of Vietnam. It was fun to cross the Cambodia/Vietnam border on foot. Arriving in the city centre we found a nice little minihotel down a backstreet, just off the ...
