Ho Chi Minh City
Ho Chi Minh City has a bit of everything, from affluent, high-end nightclubs to budget hotels and tightly packed backpacker streets. The city is split up into a series of districts, each one catering to a different line of products and each one with its own charming atmosphere. There are the fast-paced areas of the backpacker streets in district one as well as the large-scale markets in some of the other areas. Ho Chi Minh also has quite a great deal of green space with parks literally found every few miles.
The Vietnamese are a very communally oriented people, the symbiotic relationship of Buddhism and their culture can be found everywhere, especially in their traffic systems; at first seeming like a free-for-all without any rhyme or reason, the vast array of motorbikes move through the large streets hardly touching with few accidents, looking like a school of colorful fish in the sea. Guests to the city will be impressed with the way it all works, sometimes seeming like a functional chaos, from the traffic systems to the bargaining in the markets, there won’t be a single moment of boredom.
There are a great deal of hotels and guesthouses in Ho Chi Minh City. The cheaper ones can generally be found in district one next to one of the biggest nightlife’s in Southeast Asia. Once the sun goes down this area comes alive, and people from all over the world meet at one of the many pubs styled in the makings of American or English bars and share a drink with one another. There are also, aside from district one, a number of exclusive pubs and restaurants throughout the city, many owned and operated by the French. No secret in Vietnam is the delicious food; the Pho-noodle soup is worth the trip alone.
