Uncle Ho (to-the-Chi, Minh), he's my nephew. This is where his crib is at, and where his crew still run the streets. They even got him in da sky wid my homeboy Biggy. Or something. Hanoi is a bad place, that allows bad people to do bad things, but they think they're good.

Maybe th...

Saigon was probably the scattiest place we've been to for noise and traffic so we thought it would be nice to have a few days on the beach before we travelled up to hoi an. And what better place to go than Nha Trang, the biggest beachy holiday place in Vietnam, and where all the Vietnamese people go on holiday... HMMM.
