Good Morning Vietnam

osxoLuckily we both love the smell of napalm in the morning. I'll try and throw some more movie quotes in here when applicable. After breakfast we started our journey around Ho Chi Minh City. We visited the HCMC Museum, Opera House, War Museum, Reunification Palace, City Hall and lots of side streets. The city is full of French Colonial architecture so the buildings look really nice and are brightly painted. The sky is cloudy yet it stays hot on the streets, but it's not so much the heat as the gosh darn humidity. Millions of mopeds crowd the roads and sidewalks so you've always got to be on the lookout when moving around. The cost of living is really low here so we fill up every meal and usually get away for under $10 total, which is nice. Tomorrow we'll go on another walkabout to walk along the Saigon River and hit any other sites we missed today. On the 1st we've got a tour booked for the Cu Chi Tunnels, a famous community that moved underground during the American War (what we call the Vietnam War). We're having a good time but the city is too hectic and congested so we're happy to only be here a few days.
