Budget holiday to Ho Chi Minh City and beyond.

[tom]

After the Americans left Vietnam in 1975, today after 31 years of development, Ho Chi Ming City is developing fast. Ever heard of Singapore Vietnam joint industrial park Singapore help to develope ? Singapore today is also one of the top investment country in Vietnam.

Looking for a place to relax and rewind at a budget, we should consider HCM City.Book a taxi for half a day and go site-seeing only cost USD 10.00 to 12.00 In Singapore this amount of money , we can only book a taxi and travel from Punggol to Raffles place probably.

Food is cheap, for USD 1.00 we can walk into any 3 star hotel and have set lunch buffet.Walk into most restaurants, live bands are always in attendance.People are very courteous and willing to help.

From HCM City go further north reaching Dalat, the weather is cooler than Genting Highland. Beautiful lakes, mountains, waterfalls are untouch by man.

Went there several years ago and still can't forget Halung (?) Bay in Hanoi and its seafood  .  Don't really like HCM as it feels so crowded.
