We arrived in Ho Chi Minh City around 8:00pm and are first impressions were that it was similar to Hanoi (the capital) but it was a bit more commercialized. We ended up staying at a guesthouse which was close to where we got dropped off but in the main backpacker's area. We couldn't believe how many backpackers we saw there as a lot of places we had been didn't have as many tourists with it being the low season. The guesthouse was called Ti Ti and unfortunately ...

Luckily it missed the side of the bus but only my millimetres! The driving in Vietnam is just crazy there are so many accidents especially with mopeds!

So we got to the train station at half 6 in the evening. When we got inside the station we were looking at the board to see what train it was. A guy came over and asked us what train so we told him and he said this way and started walking towards the platforms. We followed him and got to our train and he came inside and showed us to our room. We thought ah that was a helpful member of staff until he said you pay me now!! We were like what? And he said you got my ...
