Ho Chi Minh rainy season

I went to District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City by motorcycle taxi for dinner. Before I went out, I was suspicious of the sky, but I was hungry, so I left with Ayer. The weather forecast is not very reliable here, so it is important to sharpen your feelings. As I got closer to my destination, the clouds became more suspicious and the rain started to fall. The motorbike taxi driver took care and hurried t...

Fashionable Ho Chi Minh City District 2

District 2 of Ho Chi Minh is an area where many Westerners, mainly French, live. There are many fashionable restaurants, bars and cafes. For today's remote work, I chose "The Vintage Emporium", a cafe with a high-ceilinged Western-style building. I ordered a cup of coffee for about 350 yen and I think I should have it for about 2 hours. It's not often listed on Ho Chi Minh's tourist routes, but I ...

Old and new boiled town

In Ho Chi Minh, you can meet such a nostalgic scenery when you go off the main road. You rarely see candy stores in Japan anymore. There is a very stylish bar "JOKER" on the same street as the candy store. After learning the basics of how to make sake at the bartender school, we asked bartenders who are extremely good at making cocktails while working at various bars to make the recommended whiske...

Vietnam's largest Chinatown "CHO LON District"

I went to Vietnam's largest Chinatown "CHO LON District" and ate dim sum first. Some people may be scared by the bird's legs in the photo, but once you eat the steamed black soybean sauce on the bird's legs, you will be addicted to it! When I was stationed in Guangdong Province, China, I often went to dim sum, so when I compared the tastes, the taste was a little strong, but it was delicious. When...

Around where I live 2

There is a morning market around my apartment in Ho Chi Minh Binh Thanh district where I live. People and motorcycles are crowded on the narrow road, and vegetables, fish, and meat shops and stalls are lined up on both sides. I haven't cooked here yet, so I don't buy fish or meat, but I bought a pineapple that has already been peeled, and it was an unfriendly and scary aunt, but it was about 0.5$....

Ho Chi Minh Local Life

I had lunch and night meal at a local yakitori restaurant that is famous locally. A main dish of bird's legs, chicken wings, and peaches, French bread (= vine me), free vegetables and pickles, and two beers for about 5$. The state of the rush on the way back. The ambulance is ringing sirens, but it doesn't seem to make any way. You need to be very careful so that an emergency situation does not oc...

Around where I live

私の住んでいる近くに幼稚園があり、お母さんがバイクで子供を送り届けているところです。 Opposite this kindergarten is an elementary school and opposite the police station. A Vietnamese friend says that I'm glad I lived in a safe place. However, I remember this place somewhere, and when I remember, when I was stationed two years ago, when I happened to pass by this area, I found a motorcycle snatch in front of the police station. I remembered...

AEON MALL in Ho Chi Minh

Today I would like to share my life in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam with you. I went to a large AEON MALL in Tan Phu district of Ho Chi Minh City. The four-story central atrium, walking from one end to the other is quite tiring. It was vacant because it was daytime on weekdays, but it seems to be quite crowded on weekends. In Ho Chi Minh, it is difficult to buy various categories at the same place, b...

GRAB bike

GRAB bikes have become an integral part of my daily life. There is an indescribable uplifting feeling as if you were a member of a runaway tribe. I wonder how many years this energetic Vietnam will last ... Anyway, Vietnam is in season now!

Dinner meeting

We had a dinner meeting at "Octo Tapas Restobar" in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City. The woman on the right is an up-and-coming Vietnamese designer who provides costumes to Miss Vietnam and has women's wear stores under her own brand "XITA by Katy Nguyen" all over Vietnam. The uncle on the left (although he is a little younger than me ...) has developed his own golf brand called Handee Golf not onl...
