Saigon<\/h1>\n<\/div>

Saigon is very much alive. Traffic is almost hypnotizing: thousands of scooters weave their way in the streets, like a school of fish.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Four tips:<\/h2>\n<\/div>

1) take Uber motor rides. Adrenaline, sightseeing, quick, local and super cheap. You don\u2019t have to negotiate and you don\u2019t even need cash.<\/p>\n

2) cafe\u2019s:\u00a0Propaganda<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0l\u2019Usine<\/a>. Also good for (co) working.<\/p>\n

3) restaurants:\u00a0Secret Garden<\/a>\u00a0on a rooftop.\u00a0Hum<\/a>: trendy vegetarian restaurant.<\/p>\n

4) street food!!!! My favorites were Bahn Xeo and Bahn Cuon.<\/p>\n<\/div>
