Ho Chi Minh City is not Saigon. Saigon is the true name. Ho Chi MInh City is what the north Vietnamese called them....Anyway, SAIGON is the city name...
Did you know that the Ben Thanh market is way more expensive then other markets in HCMC? And the people are rude in my opinion. 'Sir do you want to buy this..' Aight, my dad was going crazy. However, if you want to experience Vietnam, you should go to the countryside, places like Mui Ne, Nha Trang, Hoi An & Hué.
Honestly, Vietnam is beautiful but ur pronunciation was soo not good. I love Vietnam but I think u should talk a little bit clearer, it sounded really bad , really, no kidding.
i really hate Viet Girls talking with a THICK american accent...tomorrow we will be using the YUAN all the way to KFC. Saigonese are dellusional - Viet girls are too thinh...
Really, how do you tell the difference? Whether it be Japan, China, Korea, or Viet Nam, these people are basically alike. They look pretty much alike except, I guess for the degree of eye slant, they're all short, and talk alike and use the same clipped English. They do work hard and are respectful to the white man. Some have bowed to me. They do not wish to bring shame on family.
oh sdfu trying to be funny? retard... white ppl all look alike so do black ppl... u dumas. stop saying stupid... if u notice black ppl have slanted eyes, or u dont have the balls to say it to them?.
@aznkillerd Black people do look alike. While they don't have slanted eyes, they often do have big lips and nappy hair, and yes I have said it to their faces
@fruticetum You can see how they are different if you have a careful look. The way they speak English is different too. The Vietnamese are easy to recognize. Some Vietnamese look like Chinese cause their forefather have Chinese blood, but they are totally different from Korean and Japanese. That is it.
About 380 young monks and nuns who are followers of Buddhist leader Thich Nhat Hanh, have called on the French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, to grant them temporary asylum, after they were forced to flee Bat Nha monastery and repeatedly attacked by vigilantes allegedly hired by the Vietnamese authorities. They say the government regards their leader as a threat to its authority due to his fast-growing popularity among the youth.
If America had not involved the war, South Vietnam would have fallen into communism in 1954 and more Vietnamese would have been murdered in cultural revolutions like those launched by Mao in China (20 million deaths) and Khmer Rouge in Cambodia (2 millions)
Total Vietnamese democide by communists:1,040,000 (1975-87) by UNHCR
Ho chi Minh, Vietnam's communist leader, is a disguting TRAITOR & MURDERER! In exchange for chinese military aids in the war with France (1945-1954), he gave up Paracel & Spratly archipelagos with large oil resources to China. He even ordered to murder his own mistress named Nong thi Xuan when she threatened to disclose her sexual relationship with him since that would destroy his image as a "Father" of Vietnam who "sacrifices" his whole life for Vietnam revolution.
Saigon changing too fast but not the people who live there only the business around the world so the government , poor people now can't live and spend time in Saigon anymore they moved a little further out because of what they spending very day , food and things for their living , even me when i come back there everything is expensive then in New York where i live that is too much , only in Saigon .
Many homeless and hookers there too. Fresh air ? Funny ! There is all fuking dust everywhere. Please give back the name Saigon. What the hell is hochiminh ?

I keep hearing these narrators use the name saigon, didn't those communist force everyone to call that place ho chi minh city after the fat american pigs left in april 75?
i left Saigon 21 years ago and dying to come back for a visit, i was raise on top of Icescream Bac dang place at the corner of Pasteur and Le Loi across from Casino Saigon Cinema for those of you familiar of Saigon.
Freaking communists man, it's a same that those commie gooks had to take over. Ho chi minh city, is still Saigon to me, I dont give a shit if they renamed it after that a son of a bitch.
riding at night in the streets of saigon is very relaxing and refreshing. no need to always go into a coffee shop nor night clubs, just riding along the streets is quite nice.
Yo Dragonfly. You mean riding the streets on your own scooter? I have a Viet wife and will move to Vietnam in a few years time. Is getting a scooter permit difficult. My wife says not but she always underplays things. Personally the scooter traffic frightens me but I want a permit and to have one of my own to get around on
The safest way is to have your own permit. I ride without one and got caught once when i ride across the unbroken line. I paid the policeman $100,000 dong and pretended i was a local by what i wore. However it is easy for you to get a permit. But you would not need one, because for some reason, the police here wont charge caucasians for traffic infringements.
Dont be frightened, just do it! Ride slowly first, then you'd be fine.
Thanks Dragonfly. My wifes town of Bac Giang in the North is where I would apply for a permit. Its 8000 people and not too busy. I tend to like to do things by the book lol....when in strange lands so as to not risk problem but if I got impatient waiting for testing time...I would certainly take the bike out for a non permit ride. Once I master Bac Giang I would take my scooter to Nha Trang and then HCM as those are the three places we hang out in due to family being there.
Its going to be a very long ride for you to get to Nha Trang from Bac Giang, but im sure you will enjoy it. Just be careful of the trucks and buses, some are speedy drivers and wont stop at nothing.... thats why there are many accidents everyday.
However good luck and hope you and your wife have a safe and enjoyable journey.
Wife wont let me travel long distance between centres...just around town and major cities. So I'd have to pay for the scooter to travel in the trains cargo section. I suggested we should do a round Vietnam by scooter routine when I saw foreigners doing it once and she canned it. She is paranoid about her nations bad truck, bus and car drivers. I sort of fancy myself as an adventurer. I can rough it any place and any weather. A few bugs on the road included. Talk her around one day.
bookritenow is right. Sai Gon is the old name which has been changed to Ho Chi Minh City when the country was lost to communism. However, the name Sai Gon is still familiar and used by many people.
love how they keep calling it saigon...i heard you don't say that name to northerners as they get really insulted but to the Ho Chi Minh City city people, it's always Saigon.
It is NOT true that the name Saigon is somehow not permitted in Vietnam. Both names, Saigon or Ho Chi MInh City, are used freely and widely in Vietnam. In fact, the official Communist Party newspaper in the city is called Saigon Giai Phóng, or Liberated Saigon. Numerous agencies and businesses bear the name of Saigon too.
