Saigon
What is officially Ho Chi Minh City, but still known to the people as Saigon, is full of mopeds, sketchy wiring, and history. We spent 5 days in the area and thouroughly enjoyed having Air-con and a TV. The vietnam war is still a vivid memory for the locals and we spent a day visiting the war museum and Cu Chi Tunnel system. The tunnels were insane... consisting of a 200 km network of crawlspaces, kitchen rooms, air vents and boobytraps. We crawled through one of the original tunnels for about 50 m and almost panicked from the claustrophobia. During the war, people lived in them!
