Saigon

Believed it or not, this is just a small number of motorbikes on the road.

I met a friend who’s living in Vietnam online today. Nothing seems to be out of ordinary over there, but she did mention that it is a pain to go outside as there are too many people on the road. I knew that much but I’ve never thought of how many people are there in Saigon (HO CHI MINH CITY). So I did a bit of research and make a comparison to Sydney, Saigon area is only one sixth of that of Sydney but the population is as high as twice the amount of population in Sydney. Sound impressive, huh? But I found one thing that is really interesting though. There are more than 1 million vehicles running in the city everyday and its vehicles I’m talking about, not people. The city seems very little for that many people but it’s a very lively city. If you have never experienced the feeling of being in the middle of sea of people, you should visit there sometimes. You may think that it's stupid but I think it's worth a try. :)
