I’ve been in Vietnam for about 10 days now. I spent the first week in Ho Chi Minh City – a frenetic city with unbelievable traffic, incredible relics of the French colonial times and also the Vietnam War, plus some fantastic cafes and restaurants, friendly people and wonderful galleries.
Here’s a small selection of some of the images from that week. To follow my blog about travelling overland through Vietnam on the Honda purchased in this gallery, please see www.asiancorrespondent.com
