Comments Off on Ho Chi Mingh City: Much More Than Scooters
Arriving in Ho Chi Mingh City (HCMC) (or Saigon as previously known), I was greeted by a friendly driver from the Spring Hotel where I am staying for a few days. Once on the road, travelling towards downtown HCMC, I see the locals on scooters, everywhere on the road.
There seems to be no rules for scooter drivers with whole families aboard, mum, dad with helmets and baby sitting up the front without a helmet. We drive through the busy streets and the scooters are all around. Horns beep and scooter drivers move through the street all going somewhere.
