Ho Chi Minh City - Saigon
... I think they only see the backpacker breed here. The boat had 26 'ferangs' on it and we got through there, courtesy of our excellent guide, in about 20 minutes. All in all, a nice way to leave Vietnam and a good start to seeing Cambodia. On to Phnom ...
Vietnamese Hospitality: Saigon &Central Highlands

It's Raining in Saigon

Good Morning Vietnam

Saigon or Ho Chi Minh City?
