Hi there everyone. Saigon update . Well i always wanted to be a millionaire so i went to an ATM machine and withbrew 2 million Dong. Problem Sat night used card at another HSBC atm and the bloody thing kept my card. Linked to an account with lots of money so have spent all morning trying to sort it out. Luckily there is a Commonwealth bank branch here and they say card should not have been taken. Should have it back this arvo. Everybody in this city wants to rip you off any way they can. Taxis have meters that sometimes work 3 times the normal speed. No longer use them and have a personal motor bike taxi driver. He keeps wanting me to use his spare helment but i looked inside the friggin thing and it has stuff growing in it. Think if i used it i would get scurvy of the head so i've taken the opttion to go with head injury from an accident , probably more chance of survival. Have been to the war museum (bit biased i think) also reunification palace. ( you may remember the picture of te viet cong tank breaking through the front gates). Seeing more AFL games here than i can at home so another reason to stay here. Maybe i should move here for every football season. Thinking i will move on up the coast next week to Nha Trang which is on the coast so should be cooler and not ssuch a mad house. Was originally thinking of Cambodia next but for some reason South American keeps entering my head, anyway no rush to decide and i need to do a bit more research. Also Israel is a consideration. Well will update before i leave Saigon. Cheers all
