I almost forgot, on the way back from Vietnam, we stopped in Hong Kong for one night, New Year's eve. We had very little money due to poor financial planning and a lack of international bank cards. We had just enough money to take the bus into the city (and back to the airport) and buy a couple of cheap meals. It was cool, but to be in the land of Chinese food with no money to buy a ton of it was a bit unpleasant.
Hong Kong was kind of like going to Chinatown in San Francisco. After spending a week in Saigon, it seemed extremely quiet and calm. We didn't have enough money to do any of the good tourist stuff, so we pretty much just walked around. I wouldn't go there for a trip again- but I wouldn't mind stopping there for a couple of days to do the tourist stuff and load up on some more food on the way to someplace more exciting.
