 Traffic in Saigon is a mix of motorbikes, cars, bicycles, pedestrians and others. Clear streets like this can only found on weekends. |
 Tet and downtown in Saigon. In places the streets are a safety hazard with people packed in so tight that it's shoving room only for about a square kilometer downtown. It took me and my group about two hours to walk all the way through the crowd. IT would normally take us about 15 minutes to make that walk. Along the way I was nearly pickpocketed and we had to hold onto each other through the crowd to keep from losing any member of our group. |

 Lovers in Saigon love to cruise around the city on their motorbikes and they often stop in one of the city's many parks. In the evenings, this is a typical park scene in Saigon. |

I was "arrested" in Vietnam for driving the wrong way on a one-way street. It was scary but was also painless and I was treated with respect by the arresting officers. I had to pay a small fee before being released and was told that "It's ok because you drive careful." |
