Dalat - Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

Hello everybody, so I was rather busy the last time, I hope I have a little bit more time today...
Dalat (small city in the mountains) was lovely... there was a lake in the center of the city, and the city was built on a lot of hills, so sometimes it was hard to orientate... but the surroundings were amazing... I was told that the way from Dalat to Saigon is rather painful, because bumpy and curvy, so when one of the easy riders asked me, if he should drive me to Saigon on the back of his motorbike, I was skeptical in the beginning, but he soon convinced me, this is the way to do it ;)... not to mentioned that he found me walking on the street...
It took us 2 days from Dalat to Saigon, with one overnight stay in the National Park Cat Tien... amazing... I think for me it was the best way to get to Saigon, because we had a lot of stops and the showed me so much about vietnamese culture and lifestyle... we met a lot of people and I say a lot of factories (like rice, tea, black pepper....) and a beautiful waterfall in the National Park.
The most astonishing thing, however was to get into Saigon on a motorbike... I don't know how much you know about Saigon, but when I thought Hanoi is busy, I actually had NO idea... Today I was told, here are living 8 mio people and on the streets are 4 mio mopeds/motorbikes (half the population of Austria)... to cross the street is an adventure every single time... and still although it is noisy, dirty and very very busy, I like it even more than Hanoi!!
Yesterday, I walked around - the main Districts are walkable - and I went to the war museum... well that was very heavy, I still have the pictures of the Agent Orange and Napalm victims popping up in my head from time to time... awful, but important to know. Although I have to admit, when it came to the end and they showed all the torture habits, I couldn't stand it anymore and left.
Today I went on a tour to the Cu Chi Tunnels, where the Vietcong hid from the Americans... very touristy but still very impressive... you could walk (well kind of... it's more crawling) in the tunnels... but you shouldn't be claustrophobic...
tomorrow I'm leaving for Phnom Penh in Cambodia... very exciting again ;)
