Upon arrival to Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) we were greeted by Andrew's driver Phoang. Call it limo service, without the tinted windows and Dom in the rear!
Andrew aka 'Doc' is my brother Mike's friend back from their UBC days...Doc has been in HCMC for 7 years now, and runs a state of the art dental clinic.
Its been probably almost 9-10 years since i've seen Doc, and I can only recall all the good memories; Two come most to mind; Firstly, I can remember the days when Mike and Doc would come home late after excess' partying, and for some reason, I'D end up sleeping on the couch because Dr. Tsang was done and somehow ended up on my twin matress?!?!...Secondly, years back a bunch of friends including my brothers went up to whistler for some kick ass skiing. Before the night had ended, Mike had puked on aC's sleeping bag, while Doc was hurtin' on the couch. The next AFTERNOON, at about 1pm, we finally ran into the 2 rascals as for some reason, they decided to attempt one 'run' down 'whiskey jack'.......well enough said
...Dr. Tsang looks just like old, and aC and I are so grateful that we can base ourselves at his place in HCMC.
In the late afternoon, we strolled through 'Saigon Square', one of HCMC's largest shopping/market places. Although no where near the size and intensity of the Silk Street Market in Beijing, this place had its fair share of face North Face, Nike, Puma, LV, Prada etc.......
We then headed to Sinh Cafe, one of the many popular Cafes + Tour Excursion companies located in the backpack district of HCMC....and done...we have the next few days planned!
