Saigon

Saigon is a great city. We arrived really late/early the first day of our vacation, due to the delay in Shanghai. By the time we got down to the backpackers district, it was nearly 4 am, and our pre-booked hotel had closed! Luckily, we were able to find a hotel that was open, but had to wake the receptionist.

We explored Saigon one day on foot, and were able to see most of the tourist sites that way. Here's some of my favorite pictures of Saigon during the beginning and last few days in Vietnam.

The motorists would stop along the sidewalk to grab a quick bite of something:


Colorful tropical fruits at the Ben Than Market:


The beautiful Notre Dame Cathedral:


The best Pho we had in all of Vietnam:


We saw a few motorbikes...


And finally, the great Ho Chi Minh:
