While it was an experience well worth having, I don't think I'd be in a rush back to Ho Chi Minh City. Like most places outside of Singapore in this region, it is pretty poor, grotty and hopelessly overcrowded. It was nice to get back to clean and crowded Singapore, even though it is considerably hotter and stickier here at the moment.
Also, in Vietnam, it was hard to move without some local trying to harass you into buying something and there is almost nothing worth seeing in Ho Chi Minh itself. The Mekong Delta isn't that exciting either, so as I said in a previous summary, read this blog and look at the pics instead of going! I'm sure there are much nicer areas in Vietnam to go to, if you are so inclined.
However, for the food and especially massages, I'd highly recommend it! If you go for the latter, ask for Kim and say the hairy man sent you!!!!

Aidan, some top blogging. Fair play. I look forward to the return of the PGA Tour so that I can check the scores and read your blog of a Sunday evening! Gary
Thanks, Gary.
That means a lot coming from a talented professional like yourself!
With regards to the golf blog, you may have to wait until Monday mornings in future because of the time difference here!
