Ho Chi Minh City Hostels - Reviews and Rates

Bonjour a tous,
Apres un agreable voyage en bus depuis Mui Ne, nous sommes bien arrive a Saigon. La ville bouge beaucoup mais je la trouve beaucoup plus agreable que Hanoi, surtout parce que les rues sont plus larges. Aussi fou que cela puisse paraitre, il y a plus de moto qu a Hanoi et la circulation pendant les heures de pointe est quelque ...

So we decided to spend our last day in Vietnam on a day trip to the area of Cu Chi, just outside of Saigon.

Bus unfortunately took nearly 3 hours to get to our first stop because of the early morning Saigon traffic, but eventually we arrived at the main Cao Dai (a pretty mainstream religion in Vietnam incorporating Buddhism, Taoism, and C...

In central Saigon, standing in large, tree shaded grounds that are a calm relief to the constant noise and movement outside, stands the Reunification Palace, built originally as the South Vietnamese presidential palace. In 1975, this where the Soviet tanks stormed the gates, and where US Army soliders evacuated into helicpoters on the roof, endi...

Arrived in Ho Chi Minh City {HCMC) and thankfully skipped the floods in northern and central Vietnam (apparently Hanoi is currently under water at the moment - the biggest floods since 1984 and 20 dead). In contrast HCMC was sweltering and no rain in sight. Having been impressed with the culinary delights of Hanoi we decided to try a bit more Vi...

Yes, it's a bit humid....and warm...but mostly humid. You could go through 3 sets of clothes a day, easily. Other than that, HCMC (or Saigon) is very Asian. Loud, crowded, lots and lots and lots of motorcycles. No one walks, everyones on a cycle. No one but foreigners take taxis or walk. Crazy gai lao....wait...that's Thai...watever. We hit the ...

The airport at 'Da Nang' is built on the site of the American Vietnamese war airbase, the hangars and buildings visible across from the basic terminal building. Phuoc checked us in and we went through a pretty thorough security check and even though it was only a domestic flight they confiscated our water. From a 1220 pm takeoff it was a slightl...

Bonjour a tous, on espere que tout se passe bien de votre cote de la Terre (pour ceux qui sont au Quebec en tous cas). Nous sommes desoles pour le delai entre nos entrees au blog, c'est juste que nous sommes plutot nomades ces temps-ci; nous ne restons au Vietnam que 3 semaines alors on veut couvrir le plus de terrain possible. Alors nous voici ...

Trekking thru Vietnam starting in Ho Chi Minh City(siagon)

After getting lost on our first afternoon here, we decided to make use of the local transport options. While standard taxis are avaliable (although not as common as in other cities we've visited), more interesting options are a cyclo-taxi and a motorbike. Our first experience was with the cyclo-taxi, which is a large bucket/scoop shaped seat att...
