This is going to be my first time out of the country! Can't wait to spend my Holiday in Cambodia and Say Good Morning Vietnam! My only goal is to avoid being stranded at butterfly reserve.

Cat and Nick come to Saigon
Catherine and Nick are friends of ours who are on a month into a world trip. We were fortunate enough to arrange our trip to allow Jane and I to meet up with them in Sai Gon, and journey with them to Cambodia. They were only able to spend a couple of days in Sai Gon with us but since we were now familiar with the city we showed them around some and were able to play scooter bingo, a game like slug bug, only instead of searching for VWs we were trying to top each other by being the first on to spot the most random or many things on their scooters. Some top finds included, for people on one scooter, the Heineken beer guy, the picture is in one of my other posts. The guy with a refrigerator strapped to his scooter and so many others! Scooter watching is just one of the many things that makes this city so great! Here are a few random, yet happy, special, smiley sights we saw while in Sai Gon.
A mini van smaller than a mini cooper.
Their communication system
A foil manger?!? These things are everywhere. At least its comforting to know our lord and savior is surrounded by fire retardant material.
Rain. No problem, just cover your self and your scooter with you rain poncho!
Cats at the crying zoo.
This guy sells shoes and broken kiddie rides.
Last but not least, Cat has seem to have been inspired by the Hollywood trend to find her own developing nation baby to love and hold. I hope you can make out the words, posters of white babies like this are everywhere! Oh Sai Gon, you've stolen my heart with your tacky ways! But here are some of my favorite not so tacky things...
