Go Vap is a district near the airport.

Perhaps google map can help you find places in HCMc easier.

Country House Cafe is nice place to gather.

Last time I was there by invitation of Vietnamese friends. I took the bus #36 from Ben Thanh Market and showed the written address to cashier. Also while on the way, checked by Mobile Navigation too.

After about half hour trip, I found myself in a cool place. Really enjoyed there. And if circumstances permit, will join for tomorrow's meeting too.
