That's right, I was born in Saigon not Ho Chi Minh City. Back when I crawled the streets the neighbors would think I was some dog they could have for dinner, but this baby knew how to slip through their fingers fast! I was out of Vietnam by 7 months and heading to the States. I suppose International traveling was always a part of me. OK....focus...
Tony, Momz, and I flew to Vietnam from Hanoi, a 2.5 hour flight. On our way to the hotel we quickly passed my at infancy Vietcong home. It still stands, but is now a business on a main strip. Shoot, I know I should have stopped the cab, gone in, or at least asked my Momz more about it. It just doesn't work that way with Asian Momz, if they don't want to get into it they drive right on by.
We semi-settled in a hotel, Thien Xuen, near the mega market. It's the tourist trap market, locals don't shop there. Supposedly it is pricey, for us the goods are definitely affordable, plus everything you ever want is in one spot. Peruse through these photos and catch a glimpse of some market fare:
Saigon is slightly less noisy than Hanoi. Tony & I decided that the honking is at a minimum, where the driver's are only saying, "I'm making a left." with a single honk. In Hanoi all the drivers like to announce their breathing with a toot.
I forgot to mention it, but I'm sure you already know, the food is fantastic every where we have been so far. I love Vietnamese food. Eat it! Actually, except for the Saigon Tourist bus stop foods. That story is coming up!
