We're here!

So after our 24 hours in Singapore we have settled into Ho Chi Minh.  We did a day tour of Singapore and made some notes for any visits in the future.  It was very clean and tidy and 'first world', although maybe more western than I imagined.  The shopping is amazing with everything you could imagine available, H&M, Zara, Cotton on, Aldo, and all of the usual suspects in Gucci etc.  Prices would be around 30% less than Aus.

So back to Ho Chi Minh.  We have unpacked our bags which we got through every airport and on every flight without paying excess...whew!  We both had a little aprehension heading to the airport in Singapore but I certainly felt a sense of calm once we arrived in HCM and were heading through the streets to our hotel.  Something I didn't really expect.

So have eaten some great food, had some nice coffee and tea and trying to get used to the idea that we don't need to rush around because we aren't on holidays...we actually live here!
