Saigon

I arrived in Saigon (a.k.a. Ho Chi Minh City) in Vietnam on Tuesday evening. After withdrawing two million dong from the ATM, I was good to go - that's just over one hundred dollars. The city is very modern and very large. The doesn't seem to be a whole lot in the way of cultural things to see, but Woodson and I hit the hotspots. One of which was the War Remnants Museum. However, it should probably be renamed the "War of American Aggression Museum." The entire museum depicts the Vietnam War from their perspective and interestingly describes in great detail the American plans to invade, conquer and kill Vietnam. We felt right at home amongst this Commie propaganda. Despite that bit of "truth" that was dropped on us, the rest of Saigon has been fun and the people have been very nice - even though we are from a "belligerent and aggressive" nation. The highlight of the day was a trip to the U.S. Consulate - don't worry, I'm not being deported.
