Vietnam immigration



Two days before our arrival in Vietnam, some immigration officers boarded our ship to begin processing our embarkation cards.  And when we got to the mouth of the Saigon River, more immigration officers boarded along with the pilot captain who guided the ship for 4 hours upriver.  That is a lot of person-hours for 800 printed slips of paper!  We were told of the importance of these papers for leaving the ship, and the difficulties of replacing them if lost. 

Turned out that no one ever looked at them!
