I arrived at Ho chi minh last tuesday (14.08.2012) in the evening. There my friend*s father and uncle picked me up at the airport.
We then took a taxi to the city where my friend had already booked a cheap hotel for the night.
It costed only about 8 euros per night. In this night i had dinner at very small restaurant near our hotel.
Because it was so late i decided to order a non vegetarian meal because it would have been too hard to get a vegetarian one at about this time of the day.
Which is quite unusual because i am vegetarian and am not used to eat meat.
On the 15th of August we visited my friends relatives. The two uncles of my friend then drove us through the city
on their rollers, because we needed to change some euros into dong. One euro is about 26 000 dong.
What is quite interesting is that everyone here in vietnam rides a roller. Few cars. Lots of taxis and buses.
The people here told me that obviously everyone is riding a roller because the fuel is so much cheaper.
And if people dont have so much money this is a cheap way to move. So i think if people want to get from A to B
alone they take their roller. If an amount of people wants to get from A to B they either rent a taxi or take the bus.
Here a small picture of the streets of Ho Chi Minh city and the many people who ride their rollers.
It*s funny that here in Ho Chi Minh every street looks exactly the same.
Here are some more fotos:
As you can see in this picture many people here in vietnam wear these "masks". I first thought they
would wear them against the gases and so on because the air might be dirty from the many rollers and so on. But now i think they simply wear them as a protection against the sun - especially the girls because they want to have white skin.
