Vietnam Crazy Time

Quick note that first impression was terrible. The arrival in SGN (Ho Chi Minh City) was so frustrating. Below is where I stood for 2.5 hours while they had my passport and did whatever they have to do for the visa. 
Tip: there is no water or snacks or wifi or phones in this area. It's what I presume prison is like. 
On arrival to the hotel, I was blown away by the insane traffic in the city. It's not stopped traffic, but more like a big salmon river of noise and cars and honking and 6 lanes of traffic in a 3-lane road.
There are SO MANY scooters you won't believe it.  Below, scooters overrun a street and then start just driving on the sidewalk because WHY NOT IT'S SAIGON WE DO WHAT WE WANT. 
Tip: you are not out of traffic, even on the sidewalk. No texting and walking.
