We left Hoi An early to fly out of Danang airport and headed to Saigon for New Year’s Eve day. We toured the sites of the city including the Independence/Unification Hall, and explored the streetfood for New Year’s Eve — they had set up a gigantic DJ / light show in the main square near our hotel and we celebrated the advent of a new decade! BTW, in Saigon, it’s excepted for motorcycles to avoid traffic by using the sidewalks as an alternative lane. That was . . . surprising and we had to constantly remind the kids to WATCH OUT FOR MOTORCYCLES DRIVING ON THE SIDEWALKS!!
