This is the street full of tourists also it was where Sinh Cafe and TM Brothers' office located. If you are travelling on your own as backpackers, this is the place. Buy your 'OPEN bus ticket' here. If you have been to Khao San Road of Bangkok, this street is the Saigon version of it with more bikes and peoples. Those guesthouses are inside these two rolls of shophouses, it's only a 6 feet wide alley walking like a labyrinth, once you are inside the alley, they atmosphere change into very local peoples' lifestyle with voices of baby crying, screaming, eating and...walking deeper again we can see some small signboard of guesthouse from these local houses, yeah that's what we want, knock on ther door, ring the bell, tell them you want a room. Average prices are U$6 to 10 for a room to fit in 3 of us with air-con and bathroom, woow! tha't how we enjoy Saigon. Leave a Comment

Coming out of the airport in Ho Chi Minh, you will be surpised with the droves of local Vietnamese waiting for their new guests and loved ones coming back to their land, flowers in tow. They are a loving and hospitable people, with smiles in their faces, welcoming you to their land.
As we walked out of the exit area, taxi drivers started to ask us, in a language still foreign to us, for a ride to the city, to the apartment where we will be living for her stay here in Vietnam. One taxi driver offered 10 USD for the trip, but good thing we were instructed to ask for abt 4-5USD for the trip, I politely turned down his offer, then asked the next taxi driver. I asked 5 dollars for the ride, and he politely obliged, which I thought then was a good deal already.As the taxi drove out of the airport and into the city, we were suprised to see so many bikes on the road, and quickly realized that it is their form of transport, from the old trusty bicycle.
Like any other Asian country I have gone to, Ho Chi Minh was not any different. The roads are quite good, not too many potholes, and you could see many small stores selling their wares on the side of the road. We also saw a Jollibee store in one of the small malls they have here, and of course, San Miguel Beer ads. I felt a feeling of pride to see our local brands venturing into other countries, and able to penetrate their market here. - mmss Leave a Comment
