Ho Chi Minh is a great city.

Absolutely delicious food and tons of things to see and do.

You obviously have the internet and social media.

It’s so easy to search for things to do.

Start with Klook.

@Andrew *******

it’s one of the boring country in this region. Disgusting food, huge scam when it comes to dating, Vietnamese are also very closed minded when it comes to dating foreigners, jam traffic and honk honk every second. Will never put my feet into that country again.
