Today we rented cyclos and set off for the city centre as Joachim wanted to compare camera specs and prices. It was the most insane trip ever, dodging cars, buses and motorbikes in the middle of Ho Chi Minh traffic. The cyclo drivers take great pleasure in cross huge intersections diagonally and the traffic circles are just unbelievable. This photo unfortunately doesn't do the traffic justice.



















We took a slow walk back to our hostel and on the way we were stopped by a film crew from Ho Chi Minh Television station. They asked us if we would act in an advert for them as they need english speakers. We had to read off scripts. The advert was for woolen and leather jackets (of all things imagineable in this heat).



















Joachim was Phil, Jenni was Suzanna and Coco was Jamie.



















Phil, reading his lines. Woolen jackets are so much warmer than leather jackets.


















After all that gruelling work in the sun, take after take, we were duly rewarded with Ho Chi Minh City Television pens.
