Here I am in Saigon. Simply I can disguise myself as a Vietnamese. Yet, once I shake my head with question marks on my face, the locals just realize that I am an alien.
First,I would say. Vietnam airlines is crap. The flight from Siem Reap to Hanoi was one-hour late. Then the flight from Hanoi to Saigon was delayed for 3 or 4 hours. I was furious. I just hate to arrive in a new city at night. Anyway, not having any compensation, I got one crap coffee and changed my flight to the cheap Pacific Airlines. I was still late for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Still, I arrived in Saigon in the evening. Trying to catch a bus but in vain, I just hopped on a motorcycle and immerged into the streams of motorcycles. But surprisingly, Saigon is much modern and vivid, while Hanoi looks old and dirty. Those roads in Hanoi are narrow and busy. The streets in Saigon are wider and allow more motorcycles. Didn't get a room at Miss Loi Hotel. A sweet Vietnamese girl walking out of Miss Loi Hotel found me another quiet room next to Miss Loi hostel, 10 us dollars a day, very clean with hot water and air conditioning. Now I feel much better.
Tomorrow morning I will have a visit to Cu Chi Tunnels. It takes me 4 us for half day. Well, can't bargain with the sweet girl, can I?
