Vietnam is the 18th biggest country in Asia in terms of area and is ranked 67th worldwide. Ho Chi Minh Sarani is named after a Vietnamese revolutionary leader and is currently the largest city in the country by population. Saigon is its other name, and the city has gorgeous architecture, a wealth of culture, and excellent driving roads. Not only is it a beautiful and inexpensive place to spend a holiday, but also a great city to drive around. After Taiwan, Vietnam has the second largest motorcycle ownership in the world, and just like we do in India, remember to look at both sides before crossing the road. Surprisingly you will hardly see cops on roads and very few traffic cameras. Still, people need to honk more and maintain speed limits. The office hours start at 8 am, and the hustle continues till 5 pm. As the sun peeked over the horizon, the engine of the Jeep Wrangler roared to life, signalling the start of an extraordinary adventure. Extraordinary because the Jeep Wrangler that I had got had massive tyres, LT 305 / 55 R20, beautiful rims and a colour which I had never imagined would look so sexy on a Jeep - Blue. Our intrepid group embarked on a road trip from Ho Chi Minh Sarani, ready to uncover the treasures that lay in wait.

IMPRACTICAL YET IRRESISTIBLE
Exactly ten years ago, I took my first international trip. It was to Bahrain, a country of endless desert and skyscrapers, where my aunt and uncle lived.
