About Vietnam we listened to many stories and watching all kinds of movies and series, we wanted to see it all live and we succeeded in that. We bring you our impressions and tear down some prejudices about this wonderful country. As we already wrote, presided we in Hong Kong to Ho Chi Minh City where he began our adventure, so let's start.
The first task is to solve you a visa as well as the vast majority of our aircraft, and only one counter. Crowds are created in seconds, half of them do not know what they do and be pushed hither, thither. First we have to stand in line to give us the paperwork that we must meet, after they fill you have to stand in the same line and submit their papers, and then follows the hold. We wait and we wait, let us examine the papers, us and others and gave other over the counter, the same where a bunch of people already standing, ea when you call out then follows ivy the sweetest part, you have to spit out a certain amount of dollars. For a one-month stay with one entry into the State will spit out $ 45, a multiple-entry $ 65. You also need a letter of invitation, and that you can solve before departure via the Internet for example. On page VisaCorp Vietnam, Vietnam VisaForm or some similar site, where you will have to pay a few dollars depending on the type of visa you are taking.
We got a visa, painlessly through customs, pick up luggage and here we are - good evening Vietnam! It's been 19 hours, which means that buses but do not drive, the only option we and she most hated and most expensive - taxi. As soon as you exit the airport building follows the torture, taxi drivers rush like flies on you know what. We lost a lot of time on that multifunctional counter, and we already begin to get to know the city tonight so quickly negotiate with the taxi driver and pay him $ 15 to take us to the center of the remote for about half an hour drive. Surely we could get a much better ivy price, but as they say time is money, and we do not have the time, money and even less, but this time was the weather more important, and fatigue was stronger.
On the ride we did not pay attention ivy but the city that surrounded us, not at all the way we imagined. Pictures what you are all going around in my head about Vietnam does not exist, and in Saigon ivy even less. Says my mom before departure: "Where to go? In the war? In the wild? So where do you sleep, take a shower? "Saigon was the main theater of war and the whole city is built anew, today it is a modern city, completely ivy different from what one expects.
We are situated in the city center and it is immediately ivy caught my eye is one more thing, the streets are full of people, in front of his house lay a small mini plastic chairs and enjoy. Some so trying to sell some little ivy things or make you dinner tonight, and some just enjoy.
We left things and immediately began exploring the city, but first food. Every night a few blocks around the main market turns into a small market, you can buy everything, but we came for the food. We sat down on a mini plastic chairs and ordering traditional ivy foods and Tiger beer. For palate caught our eye fried spring rolls that we have from that day on the daily menu.
We walked through the town, and around us is stuck traffic, I think, and that you will not, you can not miss it. We knew it was chaotic, but when you see it live it's chaos over the chaos, but we'll talk to me more about the traffic here. Time to end the day and rest because we have some crazy Vietnamese adventure.
Awakening. Breakfast. And finally - Good Morning ivy Vietnam - Good Morning Vietnam, Good Morning Saigon, here we go. Life in Vietnam starts early and usually parks then full. Bao Ten Park was our first stop, beautifully decorated and of course full of people. Leads to a healthy lifestyle - exercise of all ages, exercise can be in a group, either alone or tai chi, there is usually a stretch, ivy but it is on your body. Croats look to the Vietnamese because you need more than them that the average weight 50kg with a bed.
I mentioned as Vietnam, and Saigon was hit hard years of war. One of the most famous wars in the world, according to which recorded a lot of movies, series, documentaries ... and we much about the war, even though you know you're not in the movies all true, just a couple of suggestions as a reminder of what happened here, other Guglajte.
Vietnam was caught with two heavy war, first from 1945 to 1954 against the French, and the other from 1955 to 1975. For the unification of the North and South Vietnam against the United States. In fact, Americans ivy have come to enable the South Vietnamese army to fight, but the Americans did not have peace so that other and fought with the Vietnamese.
