... got through in about 15 minutes without as much as a hiccup, and we were in Vietnam! It took another three hours to get to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), but you could tell you were in the city as soon we entered.  I have never seen so many motorbikes in ...

Mary's Impressions: Our next stop was Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) still referred to by its former name of Saigon by most Vietnamese people we met. If Jeff and I thought that Hanoi was a city of motorcycles and scooters, HCMC is 100x more intense. HCMCis a ...

At the end of our boat trip, we were picked up by our next guide, Tam. He was to take us to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon. It is also known as HCM City, or HCMC. It was a bit strange - most of the people here call it Ho Chi Minh City, but as ...

November 12 2008  - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Vietnam! So excited for this one. We couldn’t get as large a crew out for this one, money issues...and lazy ass issues. Oh well. Linds Pi and I bounced on a United flight from HK to Saigon. Thought ...

We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City in the evening, completely exhausted from the long day of travel.  With all of the time changes, it was probably about 24 hours of travel time with a really long layover.  After getting a taxi (Vietnamese ...

... for 2 months. Moved to the Dreams 2 hotel which was only 100m along the road. Today was another bus trip - 8 hours to Ho Chi Minh City, formerly called Saigon. The traffic here is much worse than that at Hanoi, it is non-stop. Trying to cross the roads ...

Friday 29th July Cloudy  30 degrees Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) Today's tour was the City Tour so we were met at the hotel and then transferred to our mini bus.  The first stop was at the War Remnants Museum.  This is a museum which ...

The locals still refer to Ho Chi Minh City by its former name Saigon, yet whatever your preference, this urban agglomeration in southern Vietnam, the country's largest, is possibly the final word in Vietnamese city life, which to a certain extent, would ...

Ho Chi Minh City is too long for the locals to say so most of them still say Saigon.  The traffic was just as bad or worse as Hanoi.  It was very interesting to see how different Hanoi (the old North Vietnam) and Saigon (the old South Vietnam) ...
