Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City in the hot south is hooked on speed. Everything about the former Saigon is fast, loud, modern, remodelled or subject to overnight change, save some beautifully preserved churches and temples plus a fascinating collection of museums, mementoes or excursions echoing past struggles.

Saigon was summed up as a "French town in a hot country" by Norman Lewis in the 1950's but nowadays this is a Vietnamese city through and through.

The first thing you will notice? The seemingly thousands of motorcycles and bicycles streaming everywhere and anywhere. And the first thing you will ask yourself? How am I going to cross the road! Watch everyone else and then do as they do.

Head for the landmark, the Rex Hotel and the rooftop bar for a bird's eye view of the lively streets below. Very touristy and a tad overpriced but sitting amongst this historical site is just one on the list of must do's in Saigon!
