Hello All

After arriving in Singapore Airport, I ran around like a madman trying to get all the things I needed before my flight left. I had only a few minutes to check basketball scores, buy a new memory card before I had to run to my flight. It was a short flight to Ho Chi Minh City, and after I got there it was a slow and interesting wait at Immigration. They packed us all into one room and about 8 lines all waiting on one immigration officer to let people through. After that it was easy to get out- but finding Ilona was another matter. After walking out the airport gate and being mobbed by all these taxi drivers, I finally found Ilona and we got ourselves a cab and made our way into the city centre4. We found ourselves at a 3 star hotel called the Oscar Saigon which gave us a free breakfast and a room with a brick wall for a view. That night we ate at a place just around the corner and got a full meal plus drinks for only 12 US between the both of us. It is all very cheap over here, and you can negotiate just about everything. This morning after we ate our very nutritious and pleasing ( what the hotel called its breakfast service ) breakfast, we made our way to the travel place and have just booked our trip up north and plan to see the tunnels and temples that are near the Saigon. I am writing this in a internet cafe that has no door, and has about 10 scooters lined up at the front. It is mad here, you dont even bother trying to follow the road rules- there are none. You just cross and dont stop- they move out of the way for you. I should find a way to upload pictures soon, but this will have to do for now.
