Saigon



Spent 3 days in Saigon with Tim and Nathan. Although a much bigger city than Hanoi, I found Saigon to be much more quiet and peaceful during the day. It was quite impressive during the rush hour to see and endless sea of motorbikes. It was also incredible to walk down the main shopping boulevard and see one side of the road the real Ferragamo or Gucci store and directly on the opposite side a Small shop selling their knock up products for high end brands. I think this is what sums to be Saigon, a city that although it is greatly organized and civil, it still cannot escape the economical history of Vietnam. On a side note we had some awesome times during the night partying in the sin capital of the nation.
