Arrived in Saigon on an early morning flight. Hotel taxi wasn't there to pick me up; bau a wonderful woman went way out of her way to help arrange a taxi and a FIXED price to my hotel. FIXED price is important over here! Thank you again Thao!
I went on the half day tour of Saigon in the afternoon. Just as tour was ending, a BIG thunderstorm moved in...flooding the streets to about a metre deep. You think Saigon traffic is bad normally...imagine a metre of water and everything at a standstill! Okay, it's never a standstill here; but much slower!
On the 7th I went on a tour of the Cu Chi Tunnels used by the Vietcong during the American war as it's known here! We had an excellent tour guide, full of knowledge and insight.
Met a couple, Scott and Jennifer from Vancouver. Scott lost his passport in China and was having a terrible time getting a replacement. Canadian Embassy in China screwed it up even more for him. I felt bad; but not much to do other than wait!
