Ho Chi Minh City! CRAZY traffic I´m just saying 🏍🛵🏍🛵🛵🛵🚲🏍🛵🎺📯....but really cool so far😁

in #blog6 years ago

After a relatively long and tough day, we land in a dark Vietnam and Ho Chi Minh city. It's around 21.30, when we pass our passport control, and now we were a legal catch for taxi drivers and others who want to offer us their services, we were tired and hungry but still in a good moode, we found two other Suedes at the airport and ask if we should share a taxi into District 1 as it turns out that both they and we were going there.

But after some hazzling and dazzling we decide to jump on the bus into town instead, which turns out to be free. We are being dropped off at the final station, which is district 1, and also Saigon's rats🐀 place. We ran in to 4-5 on the way to our hotel.

There was a quick check in to our room and out again on the hunt for food. It is now that I would like to write that we sat down on those little picturesque plastic chairs on the street and ordered amazing Vietnamese spring rolls ... but now it is not the reality, in the total chaos outside our street, Rickard saw a miracle .. Burger King and what a happiness to get the teeth in this delicious things at a cost of 258000 Dong, (for two) 😜🍔🍟

We live as said in District 1 which, according to my friend, Google is a so called backpacker area, it is loaded with guesthouse, dorms and restaurangs. But we took an early evening after the hamburger We stumbled to bed and sleept like babies.

The day today we have walked around in our immediate area, walked in alleys so narrow that you can not even stretch your arms. In these alleys everything happens. There are hairdressers, shops, small restaurangs and houses where people live and inside these mazes run even motorbikes, hangs laundry and people cook their food in front of their doors.

However, it is kind of calm in there, even though you have to be prepared to stand flat against a wall to refrain from any vehicle, because everything is relative. Outside the alleys it's crazy with cars, motorbikes and bikes in a whirlpool, everyone is honking their horns at everyone and driving on the sidewalks if space exists.

In the morning we will check out and go on a adventure on the Mekong River, and now mosquito repellent is purchased and with this little "cliffhanger" I finish this post ... 😜

good night from HCMC 🌺☮️❤️
