Saigon

Saigon, aka Ho Chi Minh City, is huge. There are 8 million people residing here and 5 million motos. It is pure madness. I wish I could have been here when there were 5 million bicycles. I do not want to be here when and if there are 5 million cars. That would be a nightmare.

The motos alone cause enough gridlock and chaos (to a foreigner) that it would be a scary thought to see what more cars would do to this place. The thought is not pleasant. It is definitely a rush to take a ride on the back of a moto and I have found the buzz alone is usually worth the cost of the trip.
