When we landed in Ho Chi Minh city I immediately perceived that the building, houses and structures in the airport had a Russian or a communist influence: large, concrete, grey buildings all over. Sammy our cab driver brought us to the hotel, he promised to pick us up a few hours later. We took a shower and rested a little. I could not sleep because I was too excited of being in a new country. The view from the top was amazing. One could see the hugh lakes and the surrounding mountains, which were still covered in snow. The landscape was really fantastic and blue skies added to its beauty. |
