If the way to see Hong Kong is by tram (trolley), the only real way to see Saigon (or Ho Chi Minh City as its known to most communist sympathizers!) is by xe om or motorbike. My cousin took me around the city to the districts not often considered tourist hotspots. In fact, most of the places we went to today I did not even see much of when I lived here seven years ago.
I took a number of images today, most ending in failure as I was not looking through the viewfinder for the most part...not to mention I was hanging on for dear life on the back of a speeding motorbike. I won't even get to the other technical aspects of shooting at high speeds.
I've posted a set of images on my Facebook Fan Page, so I encourage you to check those out too!
