Siagon 1

Welcome to Siagon
Morning traffic from the airport

Our hotel view of the kinder across the street.
Our first snack and my favourite street vendor.
We had the razor clams with tamarind sauce.
A nice Phillipino traveler told us as we were eating that
these were safest to eat as they only come from one
area of the coast and they are highly susceptible
to pollution. The others apparently, can live
in almost any standard of water.
Evening traffic...cross at your own risk!Full Moon over Oxymoron
Our view at night looking West...
And East.
Looks much quieter in these pics.
Quiet it wasn't.
