I was looking through photographs of previous trips on my hard drive, when I realized that I have only written about the motorcycle culture and beer sampling from our trip to Ho Chi Minh City (formerly named Saigon) last year, so I’ve decided to feature some other things you can do there.
The buzz of motorcycles on the city streets is one of the first things you notice about Saigon. Here, the nimble motorcycles expertly weave their way between hulking buses and hapless cars stuck in traffic.
From retro vespas in candy shades to rusty skeletons strapped down with market goods, you could say that the motorcycle cuts across all social classes in the country.
“The 4D’s of driving a motorbike in Vietnam: dodge, dip, drive and duck.”
