Hello,
I found something online that is evidence of a crime in Ho Chi Minh City but I am not in Vietnam and don't speak Vietnamese.
Can someone here forward the info to the police? I can DM it.
Does anyone know any bars or restaurants you can watch the game this weekend in Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam?
If yes, are there any preferred places for Bills fans?
Let’s go Bills!!!
Hi, I’ll be starting my digital nomad life from July this year. Since I’m based in Asia, I’ll be starting from here. I have zeroed in on 2 cities.
First, Chiang Mai — great weather, food, people and fast WiFi. I’ve been in Chiang Mai once and I loved it. There’s a lot of expats living in Chiang Mai so I think it’d be easy to socialize and make friends.
Second, Ho Chi Minh City — I’ve never been in Vietnam so I don’t have an opinion. From what I’ve heard it seems to be cheaper than Chiang Mai and the quality of life is on par. If anyone lives or lived in Ho Chi Minh city can help me out with some information about the city, it’d be great.
I also have Kuala Lumpur as an alternative. I’ve been there in 2018 and I had a great time. It’s a big city though so its more akin to Bangkok. To be honest, I’d rather not live in a big city. I want a more laid back, big town vibe.
I’m sorry about the formatting, I’m on phone. Thanks.
A troop of monkeys has been causing trouble in a neighborhood in Saigon, and local authorities have yet to come up with a proper way to deal with the issue.
The Ho Chi Minh City Center for Disease Control (HCDC) has recommended the cancelation of public events with 20 or more people at religious premises and organizations to stem coronavirus transmission.
In the best-case scenario, with economic activities resuming by September 15, the HCMC economy will only shrink by 0.85 percent this year, two universities have said.
Ben Thanh Market, a symbol of Vietnam’s southern economic & culture hub Ho Chi Minh City, has resumed operations amid the easing of COVID-19 restrictions after months of closure.
Hundreds of grapefruit and orange plants, native from Vietnam’s northern region, have been available for sale in Ho Chi Minh City in recent days ahead of the Vietnamese Lunar New Year holiday, or Tet.
Last night, Ho Chi Minh City and neighboring Dong Nai province were suddenly hit by hail, with hailstones up to 5cm in diameter.
Travel companies in HCMC will launch several tours to Can Gio and Cu Chi, two districts at low risk of COVID-19 infections as the city has resumed many commercials, services, and tourism activities after months of lockdown.
In Ho Chi Minh City, all COVID-19 checkpoints and barricades along local streets and alleys were expected to be removed by September 30, and but the checkpoints at the city’s gateways are still remained to ensure safety for the key southern economic region using QR code.
From Nov. 1-15, only 3-5 trips can be operated per day on a route, in general. However, routes with a frequency of more than 100 trips per day in pre-pandemic times will be allowed to operate 15 trips per day.
I wanted to give a third and final update on my unexpected 21 days of 24hr curfew in my apartment in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. ( part 1 and part 2 ). I'll try and keep it as short as I can.
In the third week of strict curfew a few deliveries were finally possible. Due to the severely limited supply chain (most delivery drivers still not able to travel across districts, ports and wholesale markets all closed for between 30-50 days) fruit, vegetables, meat and milk are all hard to get, but we got some chocolate, coffee, onions and tinned peaches so we felt pretty fortunate.
Yesterday the COVID lockdown finally ended for us and I am now allowed to go to the shop once a week. I went to the shop today and shelves were more full than they have been for a long time which was surprisingly exciting! It was also genuinely exhilarating to be walking outside after weeks and weeks in my high-rise building!
Only 15% of the city has reopened in this way, so I am one of the lucky few to be living in a district with very little COVID, basically due to lower population density.
I already wrote about a few things I've learnt from this experience, but after another week and more thinking, I'd add:
I will learn to cook more dishes (I usually rely on delivery food!) - surviving is great, but more variety would have been better.
I need something to remove heavy metals from my tap water. We mainly had enough bottled water in the store, and the Sawyer filter was great for topping up for a total of 4-5 days of water for cooking with, but if it had been another week with no more bottled water deliveries, then I would have worried about our exposure to heavy metals.
Our electricity is stable, so I need more prepared meals in the freezer. Some days have been difficult (no kids but my wife and I both worked full-time from home), and being able to just heat and eat a tasty and nutritious dinner was always extremely welcome. Slightly better prepping would have made the last week easier in terms of putting together good meals.
I need to network with people a little more. I'm fairly introverted and not a hugely sociable person, but human networks (mainly my wife's colleagues) were how I found out where stuff was available to buy, and for many others in the city, including som
