114 - Travel in Saigon, Vietnam

Saigon is the largest city in Vietnam and is considered the financial hub. However even though it’s Vietnam’s most modern city, you will be amazed at how ‘old fashioned’ it seems. People actually do wear those conical hats on a daily basis!

You’ll find people scattered all over the sidewalks in the morning eating their breakfast of soup and coffee and you certainly won’t find McDonalds or other big western chains. This is the reason I moved to Saigon – for these cultural scenes; something that is really dying out as Southeast Asia evolves to integrate into the modern world. This guide will hopefully get you off the tourist trail a bit and experience some of the fantastic culture for yourself!
