First day in HCMC

Well, we made it and thanks to our friends' recommendation in PP, we are comfortably installed in a nice little guesthouse smack in the middle of HCMC. It's quite cheap here and the vibe of the town is very exciting!

There are people everywhere! And scooters and cars and cyclos and bikes and buses! Everyone moves to their own rhythm and the streets are packed with people and traffic but no traffic lights. Everyone just goes when and where they want and bigger wins over smaller wheels. When we cross the road, we dodge every vehicle around. It takes getting used to but we are being brave and cross as much as possible.

On our wanderings about the town, we found a little amusement section in the park with dodgems! YAY! So the three of us got in and had a race around - it was so much fun!

All the Vietnamese people thought we were crazy and the cars were very small. Every time I got bashed, my shins crashed into the dashboard. Also these cars had no breaks or accelerators, so you just go for it and get hit. It was good fun, but when were done, by shins were slowly turning blue. The boys were OK, but they are obviously not as lovely and long-legged as me!
