Posted from Ho Chi Minh City, Prey Nokor, Vietnam.
We arrived in Saigon after a 5 hr bus trip from Cambodia. Jas was finally with us and our plan was to get to Vietnam and then to find out where to go. We really wanted some sun, beach and just a relaxing time after Cambodia. Saigon was amazing, really busy. We ended up staying in the old city part.
You have to imagine tiny alleyways that you can walk down, all the houses are 3 stories high.
Everybody ‘s doors and window are wide open. People in Vietnam like to sleep mostly on the floor with a thin mat, so when you are walking through these old quarters you can see a lot’s of families lying on their floors at night watching TV or just watching the world go by. Yes TV, it doesn’t matter how small or simple someone’s dwelling is, it is sure to have a TV Antenna on top. You can walk down these alleyways in the morning and you will find lots of women who have set up a very simple little street stall selling anything from these deep-fried banana donuts to spicy noodles with meat for breakfast. Everything is less than 1 $.All your senses are deeply nourished or awoken in Vietnam, where ever you turn you will find something to wonder about, look at or smell and taste.
