One night. Then off to the Mekong. Thanks, Brian

Am Herbst Geht es Los nach H'C'M'C' und Ich Freue mich schon Lange darauf.

Früher, bevor es Noch Handy oder Internet gab, sind Fotos machen ein ganz Normales Ding gewesen von Touri's.

Ich Habe vor, eine Alte Nikon Kamera mitzunehmen und Alte Häuser oder mit dem Einverständnis Menschen zu Fotografieren.

Leider sind die Menschen mit dem Ganzen Internet Zeug Sehr Paranoisch Geworden.

Würdet Ihr Euch Trauen in Vietnam Fotos zu Machen mit einer Gr. Alten Kamera ohne das Die Menschen einen auf Paranoia machen ?

Oder Kann es auch Vorkommen das Die Polizei kommt um einen Presse Ausweis zu Verlangen ?

Kennt Sich jemand Aus, auf Was man Schauen muss, um Nicht die Persönlichen Grenzen zu Überschreiten.

Are there any rock climbing gyms with auto belays in ho chi minh city?

Are there any good roasteries or third-wave coffee places in Saigon? Good breakfast and brunch places are welcome too!

Thank you :)

Hi everyone,
I’m interested in finding a job in Ho Chi Minh City and was wondering what opportunities might be available for someone with my background.
I am fluent in both English and Vietnamese, completed my primary and secondary education in Australia, and have also taken the PTE English test if that helps. I have experience living in both Australia and Vietnam, so I’m comfortable communicating and working in both languages.
I’m open to different types of roles but would ideally like to make use of my bilingual skills.
For those who are currently working in HCMC, what industries or companies tend to value strong English and Vietnamese language skills? Are there any websites, recruiters, or job boards you would recommend?
Any advice, personal experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hello everyone,

I’ll be traveling to Ho Chi Minh City soon and would like to get a pair of prescription glasses made to bring back to the United States. Does anyone have recommendations for reputable optical shops with good quality lenses, frames, and reasonable prices?

Thank you!

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to ask a question with regards to bringing prescription medication into Vietnam via Tan Son Nhat airport. I've seen some places say that the maximum supply you can bring for some medication (such as ADHD meds) is a 10 day supply. But, in the Vietnam Embassy website it just states "​People with medication you should have the doctor’s prescription and a letter from your doctor stating that you are required to take the medication and the medication will be in its original packaging."

I'm planning on staying in Vietnam for 60-90 days and was wondering if anybody has had experience with bringing in their ADHD meds? What's the process like in the airport? Did you go through the customs (I believe it's referred to as the red line) or just straight through security (green line?).
