Heippis,
We left Friday morning from Helsinki via Milan and Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh City. The city is officially called Ho Chi Minh but everyone still talks about Saigon... We arrived yesterday in the evening checked-in at our hotel, went to have some noodle dinner an slept for hours and hours...Today we strolled around the city, admired all the amazing flower arrangments (that have been put up because of the Lunar New Year Celebrations), had an amazing rice lunch and browsed around and looked at what the Ben Thanh Market had to offer.
This city is pretty fond of their mopeds so it gets quite chaotic at times and crossing the streets might be a bit of a challenge. But if you have handled India, you can handle this - piece of cake compared to India actually... :)
It is so nice, warm and sunny here! I realized now how much I have missed the sunlight and the warmth that it brings! But on this tour we are going from warm to cold - up in Hanoi it´s gonna be really coooold!
Btw we just love the food here! Soo simple, but soo goood! We are hoping to do a cooking class in Hoi An, so that we hopefully maybe could make some of these goodies back home...We are starting our 12 day Roam Vietnam tour today and meeting up with the group this evening. We will start here from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) and then tomorrow evening we´ll catch the overnight train to Nha Trang. Then it´s time for Hoi An, Hue, Halong Bay and finally Hanoi. Looking forward to going to Nha Trang tomorrow - just want to lie on the beach and drink cold beer for a while! It´s all about the little things... ;)

Ashutosh Hey, just looking arunod some blogs, seems a pretty nice platform you are using. I'm currently using WordPress for a few of my sites but looking to change one of them over to a platform similar to yours as a trial run. Anything in particular you would recommend about it?
