Vietnam Blog

Wednesday 6th December

Been in Ho Chi Minh City since Saturday. Took the weekend off to acclimatize to my new environ and organise a few little details, like where I will visit in Vietnam.

I have approached a few people with regard to doing an interview about living in Ho Chi Minh, but as yet haven't found a suitable participant. Thinking of maybe interviewing a tour guide, and taking a trip down to the Mekong Delta.

It has been great arriving in a country where the Australian dollar is worth something, in Europe I was losing out $5 AUD = 3 Euro, so I have been making a few much needed purchases.

The amount of scooters on the road in H.C.M.City is crazy, you have to see it to believe it. One of the fun things I have done since being over here is hire a scooter and brave the busy roads. Once on the road you realize there is some order to the chaos, but the fumes!! I believe Honda have produced a Hydrogen Scooter, but I can't seem to find it available for purchase on their website. Imagine the health benefits if such a scooter replaced all the current fossil fuel scooters?
