Saigon is super speedy

Well we made it! We're on holidays again! Yaaaaay! It's great to be back in Asia, almost feels like coming home. This is just a quick first blog entry to let you all know we're alive and having a great time - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) has manically crazy traffic but it seems to have some sort of order - you just have to walk slowly across the road and hope it all goes round you! We have been having fun seeing all the weird and wonderful things people can put on motorbikes: families of four, bus windshields, huge hands of bananas, steel pipes..... we've also been wandering around seeing some museums and things and learning lots about Vietnamese history - so much walking!! We are going to have buns of steel. One fun random event yesterday was we happened to find the finals of the Vietnam Open (badminton) so we went along to that - the crowd went wild because the Vietnamese guy won!

Will do some fun stories in a few days, for now here's a couple of photos:

Elephants feet at the reunification palace....weird...
