HOLY SHIT. These are the only words I can use to describe Saigon so far. We’ve been here for 4 days now and I don’t think I’ve ever encountered such madness in my life.

There are about 500 gazillion motorcycles and a complete disregard for traffic rules. We saw the scene of an accident yesterday, a pair of flip flops and a helmet lodged underneath a truck and a pile of blood. We didn’t see a body, and I am VERY grateful for that.
