The photo above is Saigon, taken from our hotel. The long white line in front of the truck is a motorscooter. Another is behind the first. There were a lot more private cars than I'd ever seen before.

We were met at Tan Son Nhat Airport by a hotel driver, and were driven to the Madame Cuc Hotel. I would not have the slightest clue where we were in the city except we had looked at a map before we ever left home, so we'd be able to walk to the Reunification Palace and then go to the Viet Nam Historical Museum as recommended by my friend My Hanh.

My Hanh met us at our hotel and we all went to dinner. She communicated with the taxi driver!

The photo on the left  is a power pole showing wiring that is typical in Viet Nam. Wiring looks like this all over the city and country, so something is done differently there than here. You cannot keep these wires out of photographs, so you might as well incorporate them into your design!
