Hi all,

I'm a 22 year old American moving to HCMC from VA this Thursday for work. I'm hanging out/on my own for the first 2 weeks and I'll be staying around District 1 mostly...trying to get a feel for everything. Just wondering what the expat population is like, what to expect, and if anyone wants to meet up and grab a beer or something.

Thanks!

Tim

Yes, you can meet so many foreigners and expatriates in Q.1 at Bui Vien, De Tham and Pham Ngu Lao streets. Also some of our members are 'regular' there :D
