Vietnam 2

After beautiful Hoi Ahn Ho Chi Min city, or Saigon as the locals still prefer to call it. Emma has a friend here from her Barbados days and decides to have a serious wine session. I decide to leave them drinking and jump on a Moped-taxi. Zipping through dense Saigon traffic at night having drunk a few beers is good fun and somewhat surreal, especially when my driver decides to do a U-Turn and go against traffic for a while. The next night we sleep somewhere on the banks of the Mekong at some bloke’s house. (home stay). Then, one evening sitting at the table we are suddenly raided by 20 students, they want to understand the tourists as they are studying Tourist Consumer Behaviour. Their tactic is to get us talking by feeding us rice wine and beers. We talk for many hours but Emma is still paying for her big night in HCM city with a headache and goes to bed early.
