When people talk or think about Ho Chi Minh City .. they think of a place with no electricity and almost no high rise building.. but they are so wrong because the Ho Chi Minh City of today .. consist of more than just that and in fact constantly changing. Everyone is hardworking as far as I can see and no there are no disability appeal like they have in the West.
What’s most appealing to me at Ho Chi Minh City is the flea market type of stores where one can get cheap food, cheap clothes, cheap almost everything. Some folks refuses to try anything on the street but I tell you .. you are definitely missing out on the local delicacy if you don’t. They may not be something you are familiar with .. but what doesn’t go with coconut right?
Ho Chi Minh City reminds me a lot about Phuket before the tourist flocked the place.. and I was hoping that Ho Chi Minh wouldn’t end up like another Phuket … but you and I know.. it’s inevitable. So enjoy it.. before it turns into just a tourist attraction.
