Old posts from my defunct blog:
I've been taking Mai Lihn cabs in Vietnam since they are a trust worthy taxi company. The cab drivers always know where to take you even though one has poor pronunciation of Vietnamese places.
Today was different. I took a cab from District 1, HCMC and....
Me: Chinatown please...Chinatown...Do you know Chinatown?
Driver: Yes, yes! Shay-na-ton, Shay-na-ton!
Assuming Chinatown was a popular market among tourists in Saigon, I believed him when he said yes.
After five minutes we have arrived at our destination.
Driver: Shay-na-ton! Shay-na-ton!
I looked to my left where the driver was pointing. Oh yes, it was Sheraton (Hotel).
I found the whole thing hilarious, I just paid him 20.000 VND that reflected on the meter. Took another cab near Shay-na-ton Hotel to take me to Chinatown.
