Good morning Nilia, you're welcome. I am in Tân Phú District where is far from Dis 7 but I usually go to coffee shop in there for breath fresh air. I understand you want to make friend in Dis 7 for convenient to set up an appointment. However, if you want to meet me, I will be there by all of my pleasure to talk and teach you the basics in Vietnamese. It’s nice to make friend with you.

Stanley Lu

You will teach at the AIS right ? So i want to know where do you want to live ? There's a lot of super markets in D7, and the AIS have 3 school in HCMC, one in D1, second in D. Binh Thanh and the last in D.Nha Be.

Nilia1217

I am going to see the new school now,then apartment hunting. I will let you know when I can meet with you. We can exchange English for Vietnamese! Thank you Ha, see you soon.

Hello and welcome to Saigon. I am from Clearwater Florida and have lived here for over 6 years.

My Vietnamese wife is vegetarian so would surely know all the good salad locations.

Is your school arranging your apartment for you?

Kenneth

Clearwater is my favorite Florida beach! I really don't know where the salad places are, help will be appreciated.  I was able to get a great apartment in the Era town complex.

Hello and thanks for the invite. Your email was taken out of the message.
I'm at work until around 4:30PM, don't get home till around 5PM and Saturdays I'm always working on school plans and grades most of the day. I go out when and if I finish. Usually I try to go out Friday or Saturday nights. Sunday, tomorrow, I'm going to see my daughter in D10. So, I guess when I'm free on a Saturday we can meet up.
Take care,
Nilia

I live in Phu My Hung too. I am from Korea. Since its living environment is good, Phu My Hung is a good place for foreagners to live. There are many real estate agents and so easy to find an apartment that you like. You can get assorciated with your people because there are many Americans living in dist 7. Maybe we would bump into each other in a beer bar in dist 7 if you like beer.   :D
