I decided to cross the boarder between Cambodia and Vietnam by bus and during the day, 7hours from Phnom Phen. The bus was very comfortable (AC, wifi, etc.) and boarder crossing was very fast and without any issues (applied for visa in advance).
Vietnam as a first impression looks much more developed compared to Cambodia. Ho Chi Minh city (old name Saigon) is huge city with population of ~8Mio.people, like the hole population in Bulgaria together. 8mio.people and pretty much the same number of scooters on the streets..it's very busy and crazy traffic..i can't really describe how crazy they drive, no idea how they can manage this and survive just one day.. It is also a big challenge to cross the street..noone is waiting or breaking, you just have to adapt and match with the traffic.
Although very busy with crazy traffic and high criminality i liked the city- is not so dirty at all, is developed, you have parks and many green areas and many possibilities for activities, like beautiful Mekong river delta or international food like many backaries and french food, american icecream, exotical fruits, which I have never seen before. I ate my first 'French' looking baguette, but actually with Asian tasting- it was spicy (!) with many Asian herbs and vegetables.
