...and it is a different world! We landed in Saigon Saturday night, and my 2nd cousin Peter's sister-in-law Kim and her mom have been our hosts in their house in the middle of the bustling city. We are being spoiled with home-made Vietnamese dishes, delicious meals at various local restaurants, and taking motobike tours throughout the city, surviving the crazy traffic - boy are we happy to be only passengers on the back of the "motos" - we wouldn't know what to do in the driver's seat...every once in a while in the late afternoon there is a major downpour, lasting for a few hours, with lots of thunder and lightning, and the air is constantly filled with the sound of voices, honking motorbikes, music and the tapping of the soup delivery guy.
We are leaving for a 3-day bike ride through the Mekong Delta tomorrow morning.
We will post pictures next time we have access to a fast internet connection...
Until then...
