You can wander around daydreaming without worrying about getting hit by a motorbike".<br /><br />Makes me wonder what part of Saigon you were in. Most foreigners only hang around District 1, and that's not really indicative of the city. Stunning is not the right word unless you mean that your senses were stunned by the sheer noise, chaos & madness. Having said that, I find it an absolutely amazing, fascinating and unforgettable city.<br />(For visually stunning in a place you don't expect it - have you been to Phnom Penh or Siem Reap yet?)<br /><br />As far as walking around on footpaths, and daydreaming without worrying about being hit by motorbikes - are you kidding? I suspect you spent most of your time on Dong Khoi or in that vicinity. Come back down and let one of us show you around the real Saigon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04920400995678809810noreply@blogger.com
