Saigon that was, was as busy Hanoi but much more vibrant. It was not at all what I thought it would be like.

Sidewalk butcher, overhead view
Not the first and surely not the last place of worship we saw,
Across the river from we stayed is thoroughly modern,
More fresh fruit and vegetables than you could shake a stick at.
This guy kept a watchful view over the market street, above the afore mentioned fruits and vegetables. He reminded me of Romanian women staring out their windows of the blocks.
I can think of worse ways to spend my day.
The river was not super clean but that did not keep the birds away.
More bikes!
