Saigon

The city of Saigon (aka HCMC) is a crazy city!! I have never seen so many motorbikes, cars, buses, and people in one area before... not even in New York City!! There is never a quiet moment- horns honking, people yelling, horns honking, dogs barking, horns honking, music blaring, and yes more horns honking. Street-side vendors are every couple steps. They are there in the early morning when we wake up and still there in the late evening when we go to bed. My favorite food has been from these vendors. Each vendor sells something a little different, so it makes it interesting!

At moments, Molly and I have almost gotten hit by cars or motorbikes. There are no lanes in the city so motorbikes go every which way without stopping or slowing down. A "one-way" street is never really a "one-way" street. The only reason drivers get pulled over by the cops is for not wearing helmets. However, only adults have to wear helmets, kids are exempt from this rule. We have even seen a man driving a motorbike, with a women breastfeeding her baby on the back!! We heard that an estimated 30 people die each day, because of the crazy traffic.
