Album:2015:04-02 Saigon, Vietnam
|
|
Our first stop on our Asian tour, Vietnam!
I wanted to stop in Vietnam out of curiousity, but it turned out to be one of my favorite places - Saigon is full of crazy activity, and has the most fascinating and wonderful driving style in the world.

That's the most interesting airport security. Definitely going to be a pleasant flight! ( comments)

Driving in the mass of traffic.
Is amazing. I actually love it. Traffic moves like liquid, which makes perfect sense to me. Merging with traffic on the roundabout [Video, 14.8M] ( comments)
