Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon, as it was known prior to 1975), is the most insane city I have ever spent time in! Really, I'm not kidding it really is! I arrived first from Hue for a weekend of mayhem and lots of walking and my main aim was to get out the way all the tourist stuff within walking distance and then fly to Phu Quoc for R&R. I first went to the Re-unification Palace where democracy officially ended in Vietnam by North Vietnamese (Communist) tanks dr...

I briefl retreated back to the hostel for a beer before asking directions to the main sites before ge...

G'day everyone! Well I finally made it on m way and my first port of call to get over jet lag and climatise is the stupidly hot and humid Singapore.
