I was born and raised in Ho Chi Minh City, or it is also known as Saigon. Saigon is the largest city in Vietnam with an extremely huge amount of residents, so almost every street and corner in the center of the city is always bustling. Saigon is famous for its skyscrapers and crowded malls. People love to do shopping, so every weekend the shopping malls are always full of shoppers. The life-style here is very fast and hurried, but people try to spend their free time in the evenings hanging around the streets. Saigon at night is very beautiful, people love to gather in the coffee shops or sit in river banks that go along the streets. My friends and I usually hang out in the evening, and we would to find as many different places to eat as possible. Along with the beauty, Saigon is also famous for delicious fool, and it is felt that the street food is usually better than one in big restaurants. There are so many things left to say about this lovely city, and we can only see the rest of it by exploring it ourselves.

Tôi và các bạn cũng hay xuống phố vào buổi tối, và chúng tôi thích tìm càng nhiều nơi để ăn càng tốt. Thành phố này ngoài cảnh đẹp ra còn nổi tiếng với rất nhiều món ngon, và tôi lại cảm thấy món ăn đường phố thường ngon hơn trong những nhà hàng lớn. Có rất nhiều thứ để nói về thành phố đáng yêu này, và chỉ khi tự khám phá thì chúng ta mới thấy được hết vẻ đẹp của nó.
