The Thriving Metropolis of Ho Chi Minh City

After a long day travelling we arrived into Ho Chi Minh City into a crappy piece of shit airport & lined up at immigration, after 30 minutes we were told to line up at the visa line. After our visas were issued we were told to line up in the same immigration line. 2 hours later and still in the line sudden panic hit that our bags were still going round and around on the conveyor belt. Hey there they were, they were sitting alone in this dodgy airport just waiting to be stolen. Lucky us eh.

Funny enough our driver was still waiting for us, and why not for $20 US. Congratulations, our first rip off. He led us towards this shiney black beamer and we climbed into this crappy wagon parked behind.

HCMC is Bangkok x 10. Absolutey swarmed with motorbikes. Millions of millions of motorbikes. Sam & I just sat there, gobs open, unable to speak.

When we got to our hotel we had to ask the taxi driver for help crossing the road. Ha how funny, later we were told the best way is to close your eyes and just step out into the traffic, its true!

We now stuffed. Almost spend the night in the elevator with the bag boy, doors were opening as we were going up and could see all the metal bits. Bit scarey.

Sitting in Le Le hotel which has a toilet in the shower and a flooding air conditioner. We cleaned out the mini-bar of Tiger beer and ate all the coconut nuts.

Readfing the menu here at Le Le....
-Cabonara with eggs and Jam
-Boiled crabs
-Fish head soup
-Tuna fish grinds

Mmmm delish!
Think I'll got out for something to eat.
