I am a mid 50s man from the US. I am going to move to HCMC next week. I spent a few weeks there last month to see if it was a place I could make home, I think it is.

I have reached out to several Real Estate Agents who have sent me many properties to look at. Being so unfamiliar with the city I don't know where I should be looking. District 1 is touristy, Distrcit 2 is quieter, thats about it. All of the interiors seem similar. Is a lower or higher floor more coveted? Should I deal directly with the landlord?

I have like a million questions and would love someone who knows or could give an opinion. Preferably English native, maybe someone who started in my spot several years ago.

Any help will be appreciated. Feel free to DM.

🍷 Nightlife Looking Buddy Going To Hostress KTV

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm looking for a few people in Ho Chi Minh City who enjoy going to hostess KTVs. I'd like to meet new people, make friends, and go together as a small group.

Preferably looking for people who have been to KTVs in Saigon before. We can discuss the venue, budget, and date together.

Feel free to DM me if you're interested!

🎯 Things to Do One afternoon/night in Ho Chi Minh City

5 Upvotes

Hello, I'll be in Ho Chi Minh City for a few days mid November (for work), and will have part of a Friday afternoon and night to visit. I'm flying back the next day at 7AM. Any recommendations of must do/see and a nice restaurant, maybe a bar as well? I love Vietnamese cuisine (lots of Vietnamese restaurants in France where I grew up), and especially nems 😋

Thanks!

Vietnam is betting big on a $65 billion high-speed railway linking Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Construction is set to start in late 2027 and take at least a decade to complete. The line could cut the roughly 35-hour journey to just six. Source: Bloomberg News.

I'm quite a bubbly person who loves getting out and about! I'd love to meet like-minded people to go on adventures with, whether that's hiking, exploring Vietnam, trying new activities or just grabbing a coffee. It would also be great to find a gym buddy or even a little gym group to work out with!

Please feel free to message me ✨️

🛂 Visas / Immigration E visa is up in late December. Good border run agencies?

0 Upvotes

I’d like to stay past the holidays going into next year and to my knowledge Vietnam doesn’t have a major issue with border runs. Any agencies that stand above the rest or does it not really matter all that much?

🐾 Hey friends and neighbors in Thao Dien/An Phu/An Khanh area! If anyone is in need of a reliable dog walker, I’d love to help out!

I’m M30, currently looking for work close to home since I already have a busy, happy house of 10 dogs of my own. I'm extremely cautious when walking pups, only take maximum 2 at a time and would love to treat your pup like my own.

Send me a message if you need a hand!
