Riders maneuvered their bikes with handle bars brushing each other during the traffic rush hours. If you are a passenger on the back seat of a motorbike, keep your knees in tight. Exhaust pollution was strong. It was a real chaos at every intersection. It was amazing that the people of Saigon could manage that kind of traffic without getting bent out of shape, both physically and mentally.
Restaurants are plentiful in Saigon.
The food was fantastic. Tourists can shop at Ben Thanh Market and at many shops along Le Loi and Nguyen Hue Streets. Saigon is also a hub for many travelers. From here you can book many organized tours to the Mekong Delta region, the highlands, or the coastal resorts of Vung Tau and Nha Trang. Travelers travelling alone usually book their trips with various travel agencies in Saigon.
