Ho Chi Minh City (or Saigon as it was formerly known) is very busy, vibrant & full of motorbikes. Crossing the road can be a bit scary but we've got the hang of it now.
Vietnamese food is delicious, very fresh & light but there are a few unusual things that we've not seen on menus before such as hedgehog, beef penis (mmm) & this bird's nest drink the ingredients of which are water, white fungus & bird's nest. Sadly we didn't get to try it.
We spent a day visiting the War Remnants Museum here which was a very sobering experience. The exhibits included explanations of the continuing effects of Agent Orange which are absolutely horrific. We learned a lot. Here is Paul in the grounds of the museum with a U.S. helicopter.
