NO chinese input in Saigon, a brief English one to share with you.
*************************************************************************
Two and a half hours flight brought me to SAIGON, a lovely city with a lot to see and to feel. Here is the impression of Saigon, to share with you guys:
1. Motocycles are like flood in the narrow streets, not only at peak times, but every minute, DAY AND NIGHT;
2. Noodle is really nice, lemon / pepper / mint leaves make the soup more tasty;
3. Ice coffee is good, but don’t try the coffee with milk: - they use condensed milk, just too sweet; Coffee is available in all places: street corners /Vietnamese restaurants /Western pubs, etc.
4. Boys like to wear clean IRONED shirts, even when they ride motocycles or have morning coffees at small café;
5. Girls look prettier in Ao Dai; those with long legs look very sexy when they ride motocycles;
6. RMB is not widely used as imagined, USD is still the dominate international currency;
7. Saigon river is not clean;
8. Saigon is the paradise for someone who wants to live in a place with very little money and does nothing but eat and sleep;
9. Taxi is clean and cheap, taxi drivers are friendly (excl those in airport)
10. Uniforms of government officials are funny;
11. They use red and yellow for slogans, always reminds me it is a “communist” place;
12. Saigon Post Office is a lovely building;
13. Vietnam celebrates Lunar New Year as well;
14. Internet service available everywhere but you cannot find the Chinese input system.
