Going to Ho Chi Minh City, staying a month. Any ideas of what to do / stories about that city? Also coolest district? I'm staying in the 2nd.
I've read that there are a lot of scams, not really dangerous to walk around at night tho
Literally everyone calls it Saigon, don't be a tryhard

How much $ are your accommodations?
I have the opportunity to move to Vietnam to work for a year, but I'm not sure what I'd do for fun. Temples and beaches only entertain for so long.

I'm able to stay at the house of a friends, he has a free room for me.
However, for the first night I'm staying at a 3star hotel because of the registration for $16
Before I knew this I found great rooms on monthly basis per airbnb, but they are not that cheap like in smaller Asian cities
best place to eat is at open markets.
New Year is coming so there's going to be a big festival of flowers and food. Watch February 1st week.

You're right of course, just pointing out to the inevitable idiot disagreeing with you that the inner-city is actually NAMED Saigon and only the greater city is named HCMC.

Best place to drink is in the backpacker streets, the street bars have some very cheap cocktails.
