Saigon
Region:
Vietnam Saigon, more correctly known and Ho Chi Minh City. All the locals just call it Saigon, so I'm going with it too.
Described by local expats as the city with nothing to do, it seems to be the case. Lonely Planet lists lots of pagodas, but if you've been travelling for a while you're probably sick of the damn things anyway.
The Cao Dai temple is worth a look though. It's a bit of a circus with a million other tourists dropping in on the mid day ceremony (I don't know why they put up with it, it's pretty intrusive), but quite a cool building and different to anything else I've seen around. You can fit it in a one day tour, for which you'll pay $US4 or $US5.
