Saigon or HCMC?
Since the end of the Vietnamese war, the official name for the metropolitan area of the city has been Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC). However, the city centre is still officially called Saigon and many locals refer to the city as Saigon. Even train tickets and timetables call it Sai Gon, so when in Saigon we decided to do what the locals do, and called it …
Good Bye Vietnam!!!
... to one of our Vietnamese guides , more women wear the face mask while motorbike riding as a sunblock than as a pollution filter. Apparently a pale complexion is highly valued here and the year-round effects of the sun on skin are seen as deleterious.
On November 30 with our visa on it's last day , we flew to Bangkok. There we will visit and stay with a cousin of Graeme's while we await the processing of our visa for India.

Loosen your collar!
... best we've stayed in! (Aside from our recent pool luxury) and apart from being on the 4th floor... Ouch. Heading out to find some dinner, we walked around the block taking in the lights as sounds, where there seemed limitless places to eat, drink, sstay and book travel with - this place is a travellers paradise. We stopped eventually at a corner restaurant and had our first 30p bottle of beer - aaaaah! Some Irish man got taking to us and we quickly realised ...
Weekend in Dalat and the Power of Community
... with her every day. She said she will do therapy with her every day until I come back in December. We did some video taping Friday and yesterday and I plan to write up a program with picture for her. 2-3 months of therapy right after her surgery is not nearly enough time! I will see if she can get fitted for braces over the next couple of months in preparation for when we do stand and for added support. The facility has a really old feet and arm bike machine that we ...

... girls, if you have a Japanese motorbike you get the best girls. The driver has so many mistresses as he has a bus. Mr buffalo is still single because he doesn't have a bike but he has lots of girls waiting for him as they know he is saving for a Japanese bike. He went on to say that there is a bad traffic problem in ho chi Minh in rush hour. Rush hour is 7am -11pm. He continued like this throughout the trip.

TravelPod Member ReviewsThanh Thuong Guesthouse Ho Chi Minh City
We stayed at Thanh Thuong Guesthouse in a double private. Our guesthouse and room was nothing special but equally we had nothing to complain about either, apart from the ant infestation! The guesthouse was in a great location, situated on an alleyway adjacent to the main backpacker road with just about everything you could need or want within a few minutes walk. However there are literally hundreds of small guesthouses and hostels to choose from within a few blocks, with so much choice availability is unlikely to be a problem if you want to have a peek before you part with your cash. A great location with okay facilities and service.
