Ho Chi Minh City [Saigon]

 
Formerly known as Saigon, HCMC is characterised by a vast array of sights and sounds; a fascinating blend of old and new, East and West. The huge number of people, 7 million, rushing about their lives in Vietnam’s largest city gives it a dynamic atmosphere and the French influence is evident in the excellent baguettes and coffee on offer. Much of the city’s life takes place on the busy streets lined with shops, stalls and venders with their wares out on the footpath, selling everything from soup to sophisticated electronics.
We experienced the hustle and bustle of old Saigon and explored the interesting War Remnants Museum.
