Take a few more rides, find someone who can communicate with you reasonably well and hooked him (or her!) up. Most taxi drivers are more than willing to be your regular, but of course if your hours are weird then may be tougher. This is the way I ... Read More

HCM or Saigon?? by crille30

Can some one please explane?HMC is the name of what use to be Saigon (wikipedia)so why have both these names and different forums?confusing but Im sure there is a reason?

Chris

Like to say that Saigon was renamed only in 1975 so its natural that the people still remembers it. IMO its just a honest issue of not getting used to the name yet, and since nothing to do with acceptance, liking the current regime or not... Read More

Hello! I am currently in transit on my way to Ho Chi Minh to start a TEFL/TESOL course in the middle of February and have free time leading up to it. Me being the stereotypical ignorant English citizen I've completely forgotten about TET and ...

Chris

I think TET, similar to how a Chinese like me would do it, is usually not celebrated on the streets like Xmas - its more a family thing to get together, eat and catch-up. Also for those who are not from Saigon will be going back to their hometown ... Read More
