Saigon Day 1

Wow, today was my first full day in Vietnam and I can honestly say I suffered from extreme jet lag. Haha, but besides that, everything was great!!

Maybe except the temperature. Every place that did not have an electronic fan felt like I was in an oven. It's the hottest place I've ever been. Plus it drizzled a little today making it more humid.

But I do have something else to cheer up my day! Tomorrow my newlywed cousin, Candy, is going to teach me how to ride a motorcycle/scooter. I'm really excited and I brought a Hello Kitty helmet!

So yea, today we visited a lot of relatives and gave gifts. This city is do big and busy and it does not sleep at night! They keep selling food at their stands until 3-4 am! It's kind of the Las Vegas of Asia (minus the inappropriate stuff).

And you would not believe how many motorcycles are here. They practically have their own lane! Well with these many bikes, the whole street is dedicated to tear bikes. There's a car for every 100 bikes haha. Ok well I'm gonna upload some pictures now.

That picture with the wicker basket has a Rooster inside...
