Today is hotttttt and sticky, a great day to get out and about in the city of motorbikes !!!!!!

Rented a driver and motorbike for 4 hours to see the city. The only way to truly get a feel for the reality of how everyone else gets about. What a gas, what a trip !!!!! Who needs drugs in Saigon. Just take a motor bike taxi and ALL your senses are on high for hours.

Not alot of tourist things to see or great picture taking apportunities as far as great monuments or beautiful views. However, the real action for picture taking in Saigon is capturing the people and their way of life.

I met some very interesting people in a coffee shop and we had a great chat about Saigon and what do see. I find people either stare and look blank at you or engage you in conversation and welcome me to thier country. On the whole very helpful.

You're back - so of!
Hi William! This is a surprise to hear you are back in Asia. How long are you planning on staying in Vietnam? Are you coming back to Thailand? Have you received my latest e-mails saying I have now been in Udon Thani, etc. Enjoy your trip and stay safe. Your bud, Mary
