Leaving Vietnam

Posted by fpc3 | 11th June 2009

Little to report on the final day in Saigon, a final walk through the city, some shopping and marshalling of the troops for the trip home.

Everyone bar FC flew home to Melbourne and my final day was spent in Singapore where the nature and order of the place form a very stark contrast to the past couple of weeks.

I particularly like the urinals in the airport where the image of a blowfly has been embedded to provide a target for those that have difficulty with their aim. The idea is that if the strategically placed fly is “hit” the subsequent splash will be minimised and hey presto - cleaner urinals. A strategy we have previously employed at home by substituting the fly with a C'Wood log.

Overall a valuable trip that was physically demanding but mentally stimulating. A country where you walk on the road to avoid the traffic on the footpath can’t help not being stimulating.

I’d recommend travel to Vietnam
