Ho Chi Minh City
July 3, 2008 - Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
From the moment we arrived in Ho Chi Minh City we were excited and felt like it was going to be a great place... I'm happy to say we weren't disappointed. We were out of the airport super quick and got a taxi through the crazy streets which were just like South America but the small yellow cabs were replaced with motorbikes, mopeds and cyclists....

China vs Japan!
September 16, 2008 - Ha Noi, Vietnam

China was just mayhem almost all of the time, so busy everywhere we went as you might imagine. We...
