DO NOT GO TO HO CHI MINH CITY, BECAUSE\u2026<\/strong><\/h1>\nI will tell you things that I have experienced in the largest city in Vietnam before answering above question\u2026<\/em><\/strong>\n\nTRAFFIC<\/strong>\n\nI often ask sightseers this question: \u201cWhat is your very first impression in Vietnam<\/a>\u201d. Most of them have an identical respond is \u201ctraffic, traffic and traffic\u201d. I am not stunned about that reply because as a Vietnamese person that have lived in the biggest city of Vietnam for more than 4 years, I still feel a little bit scared, nervous, worried and so on… It makes my blood run cold when I must cross roundabouts or intersections in the rush hour. I must fight and negotiate with a tons of motorbikes and cars and the atmosphere at that time is very crazy and chaotic. But if you could overcome your fears and this \u201clife changing experience\u201d, the feeling would be awesome and profound. Trying is believing<\/strong>.\n\nSTREET FOOD<\/strong>\n\nSometimes when I come across some streets in district 1, I saw a lot of travelers in McDonald\u2019s, KFC, etc\u2026Oh, come on!!!. Do you think where are you right now?. You are in Ho Chi Minh City<\/a>, the \u201cKingdom of numerous kinds of street foods\u201d in Vietnam. I would bet that you could not find any places in this globe like here, because simply it is totally unique. Besides \u201cPho\u201d and \u201cBanh Mi<\/a>\u201d that has been officially defined in the Oxford Dictionary, you still have tons of foods to taste such as: Vietnamese Savory Crispy Pancake, Broken Rice, Steamed Rice Rolls, Fresh Spring Roll, Grilled Pork Noodles and so on…You will only regret it, deeply regret, live to regret if you decline to throw yourself into Vietnamese cuisine. Tasting is believing.<\/strong>\n\nTry real local Vietnamese\u00a0foods in hidden places<\/a><\/strong>\n\nFRESH FOOD<\/strong>\n\nFresh vegetables, fresh fruits, fresh seafood, fresh fish\u00a0and fresh meat. They\u2019re just dive into the deep sea, up to the moutains, pass through so many gardens\u00a0to get!!!!\u00a0You\u2019ll walk into the food section and see freshly caught fish, snails, crabs and prawns and brace yourself for a fishy smell. But because the fish you see in the market was caught just a few hours ago, you won\u2019t smell a thing.\n\nThe meat was butchered no more than four or five hours ago so it doesn\u2019t give off any smell. You can tell it\u2019s super fresh by the bright red color. If you see browning meat, it may be a day old and will cost less.\n\nFrom bitter melon to morning glory, the vegetables go into everything from shredded salads \u2014 like green papaya salad \u2014 to stir-fries. Like all the other food you\u2019ll find in Vietnamese markets, everything is super fresh.\u00a0You\u2019ll also find mangos, soursops, papayas, mangosteens, jack fruits and a fleshy fruits with a bumpy green skin called custard apples, among more familiar fruits like pineapples, bananas and watermelons.\n\nPLACES<\/strong>\n\nMore than 6.3 million international visitors to \u201cThe Pearl of The Far East\u201d in 2017. There must be some reasons after this amount of number. The stunning beauty of symbolic Ben Thanh Market<\/a>, bustling Nguyen Hue Walking Street or Bui Vien Pedestrian Street, historical places like War Museum, Independence Palace, Jade Emperor Pagoda\u2026or more than 100-year-old French architectures really attracted visitors from all over the world.\n\nMoreover, we can visit local districts like\u00a0district 5, district 3 and district 10 with Chinatown<\/a>, Wholesale Flower Market, Old Apartment, Local Markets<\/a> and so many other interesting places with very cultural and local activities.\u00a0\u00a0Seeing is believing.<\/strong>\n\nPEOPLE<\/strong>\n\nDo not be very surprised if some total strangers approach you and do you a favor. Friendly, approachable, hospitable, welcoming\u2026and sometimes a little bit weird\u2026Do not wonder why they do it for you because simple they are Saigonese. We always welcome all of you to this stunning country. Taking a career break, spending time to take a sip of authentic Vietnamese coffee or enjoying local beer with friends on the footpath would be profound and unforgettable memories. And you just only find these\u2026right here.\n\nNow you know why I told you that \u201cDO NOT GO TO HO CHI MINH CITY\u201d<\/strong> because\u2026you will definitely fall in love with it\u2026\u00a0Do not believe me???. No problem\u2026COMING IS BELIEVING.<\/em><\/strong>\n\nWant to see unseen parts of Ho Chi Minh City, click HERE<\/a><\/i><\/b>\n
