Glimpses of District 1, Saigon

I stayed near the Nguyễn Huệ street in downtown District 1, where all major attractions of Ho Chi Minh City are located. The whole area is walkable, clean and aesthetically pleasing. There are several café offerings range of Vietnamese and international coffee flavours. We did cafe hopping for 2 days and tried a multitude of local coffees, including the legendary Trung Nguyen. The city has a pleasant vibe, I shall be coming back!#hochiminhcity #saigon #vietnam

Great scenery for coffee - even better at night!

I came during lunch, there was quite a few people there so spots were taken up quickly. The drink selection was more than enough and the coconut coffee was nice. At night with the lights all on and the water view that would be a highlight. It’s absolutely bustling at night in the city and there are events on with singing too nearby. Check it out if you are in District one in HCM.#katinat#hochiminh

The Craft House souvenir shop in Ho Chi Minh District 1, Vietnam

This time, let me introduce a hipster souvenir shop in Ho Chi Minh City. There are several branches in the city, and I happened to pass by, so I decided to make a note 📝. The store is located on the famous Nguyễn Trãi Street, where you can find many restaurants, clothing stores, and brand shops 😯. It's a great place to take a stroll 😃. The hipster store is on the second floor, so remember to take the stairs up. The items are relatively expensive, but the quality is good, and there is a wide variety of products. They offer items such as mugs, maps, postcards, notebooks, keychains, clothing, canvas bags, stylish magnets, coasters, playing cards 🎴, luggage tags, Monopoly games, chess sets, aroma diffusers, and more. All of them feature designs inspired by Vietnamese landmarks (mainly Hanoi and Saigon) or everyday street scenes and local food. The products have a hipster and high-quality feel, offering a different kind of local souvenir shopping experience in Vietnam. The creative and cultural products are quite interesting. I bought a unique deck of playing cards 🎴. If you're interested in purchasing distinctive souvenirs, this place is worth checking out! Business Hours: 10:00 am - 22:00 pm Address: 28 Đ. Nguyễn Trãi, Phường Phạm Ngũ Lão, Quận 1, Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh

Traffic chaos searching for best Banh Mi.

#staycation We spent our time weaving our way through chaotic traffic for our Ho Chi Minh City staycation last week, both on foot and in taxis, looking for the best Banh Mi and Pho. The traffic in Ho Chi Minh City makes Bangkok seem calm and quite--as hard as that is to believe. We ate at the "best" according to the driver we used frequently and it was good, but I prefer the Thai food. I would like to include the video of the best Banh Mi we found being prepared by a street vendor and will add it for your viewing pleasure if I can find it and add it.
