I joined the tour in a different hotel yesterday after I got back from the beach. Had a closer look at the new biggest building in Saigon as I walked up, its massive with a huge platform which I thought was for a restaurant or something but it’s actually a helipad. It’s owned by some petrol company, there’s loads of oil here, which I never really realized but it adds another aspect to the American invasion…
It’s a random ragtag group of aussies, brits and Canadians on the tour either in their twenties or their forties for some reason…might be interesting, might not be…We went for a bit of a wander round in the evening together but I was frankly bored of HCM and quite keen to see something else!! The hotel was a bit shitty but close to the back packing area which is somewhere I’ve not really spent a lot time before – it does what it say’s on the tin and if you want to buy a watered down cocktail, a copy of Mr Nice or a whore then it’s the place to go…
