The Brilliance of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)
Ho Chi Minh City or Saigon (it all depends on who you're talking to) is a brilliant city that belies what most people think of when they imagine Vietnam. People think of jungles and damp rice fields, and while Vietnam does indeed have luscious jungles and rice fields where early morning mist settles in an almost magical way, it also has cities full of vibrancy and life. Ho Chi Minh City delivers for every sense you possess; intriguing sights, unique sounds, delicacies to taste, a multitude of scents, and plenty of goods to touch.
The moment you step into the city, you can almost feel its energy pulsing through you. It is their capital of commerce, the largest city that is filled with people hustling and bustling, goods to be sold, food simmering, steaming, and roasting away, ready to be eaten, and so much more! Keep en eye out for all the motorbikes, as it is the main method of travel on the city streets. If you know how to ride one, you may even be bold enough to try navigating the roads on your own; just watch yourself though. You aren't in Kansas anymore!
Book yourself a hotel and then head out for a nice, long day trip, or catch up on your sleep and strut out when the sun sets for some exciting nightlife. Ho Chi Minh City boasts everything and anything. Markets sell just about anything you might want and then some. Look for hand-crafted items, carefully woven, carved, or hammered out. Be bold and try some of the food cooked right there in front of you, made from fresh ingredients. Due to its proximity to the ocean, merchants have the ability to offer you seafood that may have been caught as recently as that morning.
There are also plenty of little cafes to relax at, unless you want to try a little acupuncture. It can boggle the mind the way such old styles blend in with the new. Markets jostle for room amidst the skyscrapers and lavish hotels. Boutiques with specialized interests sit quietly in neighborhoods while sweet nightclubs boom music into the night once darkness falls.
The city is constantly growing and more than willing to see new people step off the planes and take part in its excitement. It will welcome you with open arms, and it won't be long before you embrace it back completely.

New Place New Decor?
We are getting settled in our new apartment. The never ending boxes are slowly filtering out and our furniture has been re-constructed and positioned to maximize space.
Now, I am left feeling a little empty. I know this is only temporary, but I am left with nothing to decorate in our new apartment. That's why suddenly the idea of purchasing a shower curtain has become very exciting. An inexpensive and necessary solution, as we are short a shower curtain in our new place.
There are a lot of choices out there.
Do I want to go colorful and bold like this Marimekko Print?
I have not exactly made my love for John Robshaw prints a secret, so what about going ethnic/global with his line?
Simple and structured with endless colorways?
Soft and muted?
Hotel inspired with a personal monogram?
I am still unsure of my final choice. Thoughts?

Kung Fu Fighting
Have you ever taken the subway in a big city? Have you done it during rush hour? With your next 6 months worth of clothing on your back? We usually try to avoid the subways during rush hour times and sometimes if we do have our luggage, we will walk or even spring for a cab rather than bashing people with our items.
However, when you live in a country with approximately 1.5 billion people, you get bumped around no matter what. The subways are always full; people are rushing on and off and up and down the stairs. It is quite a sight. But the best was today, when we HAD to ride during rush hour. We were smashed into the car (luckily without bags!) with about oh, maybe 1.4 billion other people. You can't move or hold on to anything; you just hope that if the train stops the other 1.39 billion people will hold you up.
This has happened to me before. In San Francisco coming home on the MUNI after a Giants game is a pretty tight squeeze. I have ridden a non-air conditioned packed full (smelly) subway in Paris. In Japan, they have an attendant with a cattle prod who keeps pushing more and more (and more!) people into the train. However, I think China tops them all. Not only were we smashed in so tightly, but if someone in the middle wants to get out they just squirm their way to the edge. Even better was something else I saw today; it was basically a mosh pit of subway riders. When the train stopped, people were trying to run off the train; others were trying to run on…It was like they were fighting. Everyone was shifting and leaning and pushing and jumping and swaying and GWWWWARRRR! I felt like body slamming someone. Everyone else seemed to be having fun doing it.
As funny as this is when you are only doing it once in a while, the sheer excess of people in China has also caused us a little problem. February 3rd is Chinese New Year. That and the (basically) two week period before that are called the Spring Festival. This means: starting Wednesday the 19th and going until February 3rd, people are on vacation. Kids are out of school; people in the cities go home to visit their families; EVERYONE travels somewhere. What does this mean for us? This means we cannot get a train, bus, boat OR car out of Beijing. It's like a bad movie.
Our plan was to go from Beijing south, eventually ending up in Macau, where we would celebrate the New Year and then go to Vietnam. CHANGE IN PLANS!!! We can't get out. Even if we do get out somehow, we won't be able to go anywhere from there. So we have decided to, unfortunately, leave China early. Bangkok (and about a 70 degree raise in temperature) here we come!!! Instead of heading south from China to Vietnam, we will head north from Thailand to Vietnam. Crisis (and cold weather) averted. Phew.
Have you ever been stuck somewhere? Was it because of weather…or…? Did it ruin your trip? Are you a calm traveler or do you freak out in situations like this?
