Cambodia to Vietnam, stop 12: Saigon

After relaxing by the beach in Sihanoukville and riding around on the back of bikes in the mud, drinking even more cheap beer and having a whole lot of fun, I am now in Saigon (otherwise known as Ho Chi Minh City), and have been wondering how to put the sights and sounds of this evocative place into words for a few days now. One thing I really like about it is that the houses have taken on Hundertwasser's ideas about the importance of where we live - what the buildings that surround us look like. They are so colourful, tastefully more often than not. The traffic here is awesome, as in you cannot believe what you are witnessing. Being driven around in a cyclo is quite an experience, as is being on the back of a motorbike, but by now I am simply not phased by it all and just sit back and enjoy the ride. Or maybe I have hopped onto too many bikes.... I have heard that Hanoi is even more insane so am dreading/looking forward to that!
