I'm in Saigon, officially known as Ho Chi Minh City. It is the biggest city in Vietnam, and was the capital of South Vietnam back in "the day." This is the city of motorbikes. The place is just teeming with them and you use them to go everywhere. It creates a sort of low level pollution with the exhaust everywhere down low and at street level, but its not too bad away from the roadways, different from Beijing where it just gets everywhere.
Went dancing on Wednesday to the usual social dance event. Saigon Swings is a really great dance community, everyone has a lot of energy and there are a lot of really good dancers for such a young scene. People are really nice here too and I enjoy spending time with them outside of dancing as well.
Off to do some of the touristy stuff I didn't make it to last time...
