With a population of eight million, Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) is the largest city in Vietnam. The streets are full of markets and vendors. Bicyclists go where they want. Traffic signals are advisory only and the wiring is something to behold. The US Embassy was torn down after the war but the Presidential Palace, the French Colonial Post Office, Rex Hotel and Notre Dame Cathedral remain in use. The Mekong Delta is still unimproved & used for farming. The trails both on land and in the water are haunting.
