On the way to Pham Ngu Lao in Central Saigon, where Paco's hotel is, he realizes that this city is really chaotic. Motorbikes, bikes, rickshaws....bustling everywhere...he wonders: 'Will I have chosen my destination properly?'

He has been on a taxi for about twenty minutes now and he is trapped in a traffic jam. He asks the taxi driver:

Saigon street
Creación propia. Derechos cedidos a la Consejería de Educación de la Junta de Extremadura.

Paco: Is this usual?

Taxi driver: Yes, it is, sir. But this is because of the president, he is coming to the city at 11.00. How long are you going to stay here?

Paco: For two or three days.

Taxi driver: I hope you enjoy your time here, I know a good restaurant, I will take you there.

Paco: No, thanks. I will have a rest first.... 

One hour later the president has already passed and the traffic jam is dissolved. Paco arrives at the Blue Dragon Hotel and feels exhausted. He pays for the taxi and goes straight to the reception desk. After greeting the receptionist, doing the check in and receiving his room key, he tells the receptionist: 

Paco: I feel very tired and need a rest; but first, have you got some touristic brochures of the city? I'm planning to go to the Reunification Palace this evening.

Receptionist: Here you are, sir. Shall we give you a wake up call at 4 o'clock?

Paco thinks: At this time I will have been sleeping for three hours....That's OK.

Receptionist: One last thing, sir, Will you give me your passport, please?

Paco: Of course, here you have.

Receptionist: Thanks, sir. Bye.

Paco: Bye.

So, Paco is now lying on his bed and reading a brochure about the city but falls asleep in a minute.
