The traffic in Ho Chi Minh City was amazing. The streets were packed with motorbikes, but there seemed to be a method to the madness. | ||

 |  | So our 12 day journey through Vietnam came to an end, and we were quite sad to leave. At the same time, there was the unparallel thrill of knowing that a new country awaited us, that a country which currently only existed to us as a name and borders on the map would materialize before our very eyes that afternoon. |
| P.S. The border where we exited Vietnam was the craziest I’ve seen yet. I got to witness bribery first hand and when the guard was out of sight a lot of people in the Vietnamese line just started running through. The foreigner line was very orderly and none of us were forking over any bribes though. | ||
