    Ho Chi Minh City Pics

    Here are some pics from my visa holiday to Ho Chi Minh City
    Stayed in a guesthouse style place next to the river in District 2 for about 50 quid a night It was far away from the centre so we took Grabtaxi every day. Thoroughly enjoyable. Lots of colonial architecture and greenery more than any Thai city I’ve been. My only moan is the difficulty crossing the streets in district 1. I didn’t see a crossover bridge anywhere and it’s a mission getting anywhere in the city walking.


    7 baht bus from airport to District 1

    Some really top quality Piks there punty. Well done.

    Great spot to spend a week or so. They have really good beers on the go as well so that's a plus.

    Your food pics are great.

    Next day was a coont though.

    Samsung S8 however most people won't get full use out of the sensor because they point and shoot with auto mode which is set up for shaking hands.

    Get a small tripod, use pro mode, put the ISO to 100 and slow the shutter speed and you'll get excellent results especially at night

    Surely all that characterless frozen piss you Aussies drink is lager, tel?

    Coopers is good, but pretty much a 'niche' drink in Australia.

    So basically you like to drink English style beer, Irish stout and Scotch whisky.

    Fair enough.

    Nice vibrant images, Punty.

    Saigon still retains the old-school charm, yet changing dramatically.

    Cheers!!

    Onya Punty. Nice trip.


    Would ya think of basing yourself there now that you've settled down with a non-Thai?

    Cleaner, nicer, food is better, the locals aren't fokwits, etc.

    Umm not sure. Swings and roundabouts.

    Food is nice and they have lots of trees and greenery but they lack a mass transport system at the moment, the roads are a nightmare to cross in the city and they honk their horns all the time

    Learn to navigate a motoci. The choice of transport modes.
    When in Rome, blah, blah.

    Fuk knows why those little throttlers do not build walk overs for the punters. ??

    It's not that fuking hard.

    Crossing the road in Vietnam is just diabolically dangerous to most white trash.

    Jesus, they won the War, no reason to be still angry at us.

    Well... some of it is cleaner... some of the food is better... and some of the locals aren't shady or a bit mercenary... but they are a bit boring, even when you speak to them in their own language.
