Another day...another adventure!

Finally traveled into Ho Chi Minh City.  Taxi rides are hair raising...no one yields.  Most intersections are 'round-abouts' or traffic circles with 4-6 roads converging and no rules for who gets to do what first!  I am learning to just look out the side windows and try to forget about the motorbikes and cars playing chicken.  Downtown there are actually traffic lights at a few 4-way intersections.  Felix and I could actually wait for a green walk light and have to dodge only a few motorbikes.  Ho Chi Minh...what a fibrant city!  Beautiful buildings-old and new.  So many little streets off the major ones that beckon you to come look.  The hussel and bussel of millions of people going about their business.  I love it!
