I started my day in District 4, Ho Chi Minh City, where I'm staying. It is a very local area with a lot of cute alleyways and motorbikes. I went to Cong Ca Fe to try their famous coconut coffee before meeting Emma and exploring the city on her motorbike.
We went the the Chinatown Area (Cholon), as well as the Binh Tay market. We then headed to Turtle lake in search of street food and ate a Vietnamese pizza and a quail egg omelette with costed around $1. After that, we ended our day at a night market that is also a flower market during the day.

At that area in District 2 was not quite rice fields. District 2 back then was poor, outskirt of Saigon, but not like countryside. There were tons of people living there, underdeveloped, but not enough land for agriculture, like rice. We used to take shortcut across district 2 from district 1 ferry to Thao Dien.

I visited Ho Chi Minh City in 1995, so I was interested to see how the city has changed. Wow! 😲 The urbanisation amazes me - all those skyscrapers - but I’m glad to see that prosperity has come to Vietnam, glad too to see that the traditional life remains. My lasting memory is of the people, warm and welcoming, good to be with. You captured all these elements in the video. Great work! 👏 The food looks wonderful, but I think I’ll leave sea worms to those who know how to appreciate them. 😄 Thank you for sharing.

Funny thing about the "mafia" in District 4. I used to live a couple houses away from the "biggest" mafia leader back then, and no body knew about it :) until he was arrested.... The thing about mafia and street gangs in District 4 back then was more hyped up than anything. Yeah, I lived there and I bared saw gangs in actions :). I'd seen fights on the street there as much as I'd seen in District 1 and District 3, where I went to school at young age.
