Arrived in hotel Saigon. Relatively painless trip from the airport and already been ripped off for the taxi ride to the hotel paid 500,000 when should be about 200,000.
Spent much of the day riding around on the back of a scooter with 'Mr Min'. Showed us lots of the city a got a good feel. The driving was a crazy experience, cutting in and out of traffic. To finish the tour off me and tom went to the Vietnam war museum and had a good look round. Really interesting place. We got back to the hostel and had a bit of a chill before dinner which was really cool as it turned into a social at the bar. We met a load of people and had a good drink. There was a 5 shots, 5 beers in 5 minutes for $5. Tom gave it a good go and got through 4 of each. The evening came to an end eventually and we decided to head out onto the town with a load of guys. Quickly got lost and stumbled our way home. But of a failure. Good first day/night.
