First 24 hours in Ho Chi Minh, really liking this place so far. I would def consider living here for a change instead of Thailand.
Today I just grabbed a motorbike taxi and told him to take me wherever, he made a cool little tour for me and spoke amazing english. He definately was better read than I am. I felt kinda stupid when he started talking about his favourite German authors, and he could speak Japanese because he lived in Toyko for a few years. My taxi driver from the airport claimed he could speak russian so maybe they were just bull****ting to make themselves look better, IDK.
Went to the War Museum, Reunification Palace, China Town markets, a Chinese Temple, a Vietnamese Temple, Notre Dame Basilica
I'm pretty sure he overcharged for 500k for the day, it was a great day so Im not going to complain too much. What is the going rate for mototaxi? Say per hour?
Anyone close to the backpacker area in District 1 wanna meet up just message me. I think Im gonna try find the Thai Embassy tommorow and if I have time go see the tunnels(apparently like 1-1.5 hours out of town?).
Photos from today. I notice people on the street REALLY dont like their photos being taken. Different to Thai where they just smile away at you.
