After having loved Cambodia so much i has mixed feelings about moving on to Vietnam, you can tell almost as soon as you cross the border that it is much more modern and arriving into Saigon that is definitely the case. Having arrived though the people are so friendly and the city so vibrant that you can't really fail to fall for it's charm.

Most of the time was taken up seeing the main sights the city has to offer, popular tourist spots such as the killing fields and the s21 museum are essential to learn more about the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge.
