Initial impressions of Vietnam



Noisy. Wet. Full of people but not necessarily crowded. And the domestic terminal at Saigon airport appears to be a very well preserved relic of the late 1950's. It reminds me that we take for granted all of the incredible modernization that places such as KL, Singapore and Hong Kong have undertaken with their airports and transportation infrastructure (ok, Singapore could use a high speed rail to the city from the airport, but the airport itself is lovely and the drive is usually easy because planes only seem to ever land there at midnight....)
My plane from Siagon/HCMC leaves in just over an hour and I'll be in Da Nang in 1.5 hours.

Ready or not, here I go.....
