Re: Motorcyle by Red Maple
Hello to all, I left Vietnam at a relatively young age so I did not have the opportunity to ride a motorcycle. This is my second visit to HMC in less than one year so I figure I should give this motorcycle business a kick. I drove extensively back ...
Best bit of advice i give you online is too remember keep all your movements smooth. Riding a bike is not about being the fastest, speed will come with time and confidence.I completely agree with the comment on smoothness. Above all that is the ... Read More
I need some feedback please! by xungoai
I am Vietnamese-Canadian, my son is Bi-racial Canadian with very little knowledge of Vietnamese language and the culture. I am planning to semi-retire in HCMC, VN this Fall with my youngest child. I'm thinking of registering my son in a Vietnamese ...

Bars/Nightlife in Saigon? by JVo18
Just seeing where all of you spend your weekend nights :) Been looking for some bars, not the biggest fan of the club/techno loud music type of places, but will go every now and then if the mood is right. Rather I'm looking for more of your relaxed ...
The average drink at the Sheraton was about 200,000 vnd. Depending on the band playing that night, Level 23, can be more or less rowdy. Usually in between the live sets the music is a decent volume and you can chat with your guests there. I'd ... Read More
How do you adjust to the vietnamese people when they keep on staring? by KennyNguyen
Hi I'm a viet also but I live in the U.S. I always go and visit my family and saigon but when I go out with them I come upon staring vietnamese people. I have all the respect and love for vietnam and culture and its people but it makes me feel ...
Stare back and smile. Then move on. It's common for people in Vietnam to stare so it's usually nothing to worry about. If it's late in a dark alley in the wrong part of town, okay, worry a little. But usually if you stare back a bit and smile it ... Read More
