Ho Chi Mihn City, Vietnam


Good morning Vietnam!
Well we knew it would be another long drive day (an hour and a half each way), but it was worth it even to say that I've been to Saigon. The city itself truly shows the poverty level of Vietnam and how simple the people live. It is beautiful, nonetheless, and the people are amazing friendly. All we really had time to do was check out Ben Thanh Market - the most ridiculously huge market I have ever seen... you want it, they have it, and for CHEAP! It is actually on a ton of those 'Top 1000 Places to See' lists. I must say though 'The Heat is on in Saigon.' It was damn hot... not Samoa hot, but hot enough!
