Spa/Salon that has both nail and massage services

by bibini

Hey, can recommend spa/salon that has both nail and massage services in one stop? I would like to do manicure/pedicure while my hubby can do his body massage.

Can pls give me the address and the charges?

Thanks

Let me preface my response by saying that I have not been to HCMC. My son travels there frequently on business, though, and he's a fan of massage services, so I checked with him. He mentioned that many of the hotels have spas incorporated which can provide both types of service. He was kind enough to ask one of the women with whom he works, and she had two other recommendations: Jasmin Total Body Wellness (I found two addresses for this on-line), and Kim Salon (also two addresses on-line). I'm sorry, but without any Vietnamese, I was unable to access rates for you. Good luck, and have a great time!

Unshy and gregarious folks for photography

by xuessium

Vietnamese as a people are possibly the best candidate for being non-camera shy. I had a great time photographing people in HCMC...even in the city. Just make sure you smile (and not in the leering way), point to your camera and most, if not all, folks will be happily obliging to let you take a photo of them. Please say your thanks and bow a little. Sincerity goes a long way. I think that's not asking much!

Beggars!

by machomikemd

Be very discrete about giving anything to beggars frequently encountered in Ho Chi Minh City. If anyone is seen giving handouts to a beggar, he or she may end up being pursued by a mob of other beggars. This does not help create a good image for foreigners; it gives them instead the reputation of being easy to hit up for money.

are items I brought back with me along with fond memories of course..

This set of "hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil" monkeys were given to me from a friend. Very intricate work and a great shelf hogger!

Cu Chi Tunnels

by keeweechic

The Cu Chi tunnels are a far-reaching network of Viet Cong tunnels which run for nearly 200 miles used in the American and French Indochina war. The tunnels are designed to have complete facilities which range from kitchens to printing presses and even street signs, all of which were used to assist the National Liberation Front (NLF) military.

Location: About 75 miles northwest of Ho Chi Minh City.

A: "I would try Benh Tanh markets: they seem to have just about everything else there. The fresh produce section is at the back."
