Ho Chi Minh City is a bustling place where the traffic can make you dizzy and the architectural heritage can surprise you. It is a city that is clearly developing into a major commercial centre in a very fast way!
The locals are really friendly and seem to be warmly open to foreigners. The city is easy to get around and contains some impressively restored colonial buildings. It's great to see a city retaining buildings from the past and using them for the present. If only western cities did the same!

your correct on that! all vietnamese think that money grow on trees. we are arriving in H.C.M city on the 21st dec 06, but we aint visiting relatives because that means forking out 100-50 aud per person! | Bwana_Brown Wed Jan 11, 2006 08:43 UTC
Very helpful info here on this interesting sounding city! Doing your own BBQ in a restaurant sounds like a very different, but fun way to go! | jolou Tue May 3, 2005 21:24 UTC
Oh my god I just remembered my awful meal at the airport due to extreme hunger - cold chips and a stale sandwich for about $8!!! |
