HCMC - Saigon

Hello people...

I know it's been some time since my last post... but I've been busy with exploring Ho Chi Minh City. This city is wild and crazy... I LIKE IT! There are sooo many motorbikes EVERYWHERE... If you want to pass the street just close your eyes and walk in a slow pace... they will avoid you, but if you get scared and do sudden movements they will probably hit you.
Well well well.. I've been out to see the Cu chi tunnels and tried crawling around in em... amazing that anyone could live in them. I also tried to shoot with an AK47... I just had to try it. Been to a lot of museums and seen alot of the historical buildings in Saigon. I don't really like the museums because they are really coloured of the kommunists and is a big bunch of propaganda. I guess the winners always write the history.
The prices here are very different... but there's always special prices for the foreigners... that means double or triple price.

I didn't bring my camera docking station... so there are no pictures this time... I have sooo many pictures, but I guess I will just have to show some of them when I get home.

The last couple of days I've been hanging out with a chinese girl called Min and a dutch girl called Michelle. They are very cool (hehe... lack of english words) and I've had a great time with them. We have our own seats at a EDEN bar inn Buin Vien street and get alot of free drinks from the bar because we're good customers :D
The people don't get angry when you don't wanna buy their chewing gum or cigarettes, like in Cambodia, and they are always smiling. This is a very nice country and you feel very safe.
There are kommunist flags everywhere... and big posters with Ho Chi Min, Stalin, Lenin and Karl Marx.

Tomorrow I go to Dalat with my open tour ticket, and there I will do some trekking in the mountains. After that I will go to Nha Trang and do some bathing, diving and try to get a tan again (too many big cities with aircon).

My big plans are Laos in 2-3 weeks, but other than that I will just take it hour by hour.

I hope you are all doing well, and a big congratulation to my grandmother who is now from 4. may 95 years old (I hope I'm right about the number)

I will try to get some pictures on sometime soon... just to get te big picture... so many things is happening.
