Saigon is a lively city. We used this as a base for the week in Vietnam. As I mentioned earlier the traffic here is nuts. A lot of the 4 million motorbikes here are a Chinese made model that only cost $400 new and $200 second hand ... how bad?
Having read "The Quiet American" I was eager to catch some of the sights mentioned in the book. You'll find a lot of these in District one, the old French quarter. The Continental Hotel, Rue Catinat (now Dong Khoi), Notre Dame Cathedral and the post office.
And here's the American Consulate. Remember, where they had to be airlifted from the roof at the end of the war ...
