Honeymoon - Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City, (Saigon)

Our first stop in Vietnam was Ho Chi Minh City, more commonly known as Saigon. Ho Chi Minh City is the largest city in Vietnam and the former capital of South Vietnam. 

Our first sight as we walked off the plane. Yes, the city is very crowded.

It is very difficult for the common Vietnamese to buy cars so everyone drives motorbikes.
