0.000 HBDBusy Saigon! A few days in Ho Chi Minh city #Monomad
Saigon was its name before, many still use that instead of Ho Chi Minh City I guess? *Classic Citroen* At least this Citroen Traction Avant is from those times! I did not check that cafe out, one thing is that I enjoy back alley street joints, the other is that it would be a long day of walking the streets, without much planning other than setting a general direction hehe... *Local market* This is more like it! The cheapish but clean & quiet hotel I found was in this area, a good location for some photography these 2-3 nights. There was not much I could buy staying in cheap hotels, this is of course for all the families and small eateries that cook *real*, healthy food from scratch 🙂 *Need a rooster and a few hens?* Now *that* would have been something to drag back to the room! I could imagine doing that if I was a teenager with wild friends around again... :-/ Well actually no, of course we never mistreated animals! *Local motorbike repair shop* The hotel was recently acquired by a war veteran, actually *not* on the Vietnamese side, and also he had his back totally wrecked during training, in the US. I do not know much about Vietnam of course, but I've heard that they have an admirable ability to let the past be past, I guess this might be hinting at just that. Actually he had some officials inspect while I was there, it all seemed to be very relaxed. *How much might that load weigh?* All of Vietnam totally depends on motorbikes, the very lively, local economies all over the country are all served that way! I found this street corner in the early evening, it was a perfect place to do some pano photography. *Who are you?* I guess many wondered who I was, as I drive a *lot* on two wheels myself I know that when doing that I'd also pick up anything outside of the norm, such as a weird tourist on a street corner haha... *Traveling in style!* I do like the calmness and natural way people have about things, also the traffic is very organized, its just that you'll have to learn the *real* rules first! One of my future plans is definitely to do the Ha Giang Loop. I would not have any problem with that in itself, I feel confident driving anything almost anywhere, but as always its better to get at least *some* paperwork fixed, at least initially haha... There is a *lot* of files to go through from the pano session, of course a hit rate of 5-10% is all you can hope for doing that, so there will be more of these tomorrow. So that's it for today! #monomad
