day 1: ho chi minh city

it's a backpacking trip 


crazy traffic but we mastered the skills to cross these roads after a while
 
 

 


first day of my backpacking trip. arrived in HCM and was surprised by the crazy amount of motorbikes. it is an art to drive, ride or walk in HCM and they have this mutual understanding going on. its a beautiful mess i must say. human beings own the roads as much as the cars and it is ok to dive in front of any vehicle. i told my friends that crossing roads there is a fun challenge and they replied "try doing that for 24 years."

Phil why do they sell San Mig beers there. San Miguel Pale Pilsen and all other variations of San Mig beers are from the Philippines ;)
