FIRST DAY IN SAIGON

Wandered around downtown area. Very clean and orderly, even on the less broad avenues. A bustling modern city. Found a great restaurant for lunch, small and humble. Spring rolls to die for. Pork spareribs w veggies and a tasty spiced chicken dish. Large glasses of freshly squeezed pineapple juice and watermelon juice....and very cheap....comparatively.

By the way, I'm now a multimillionaire. I changed USD$200 at a bank and received over 4,000,000 (that's right,...FOUR MILLION).......Dong (unfortunately). [18,000 Dong = 1 USD$...approx.]

Outside in pm it was very very hot so we came back to hotel, drank a liter of water, [and beer].... and collapsed.....and never left room till bedtime.
