New to HCMC

Hi everybody,

I am relatively new in Saigon and I am keen to meet other expats or locals. Any suggestion is welcome such as bars to hang out, clubs, events etc

Cheers

I have tried the most popular bars and clubs in HCMC but I would prefer to get to know the hidden ones, with some good music and real people....

Well I would suggest you get out of D1 and spread your wings in the outer areas, if you want to meet locals try the VN beer bars

@colinoscapee : Thanks for the tip! This is going to be my next step.

Do what I did, look for places that usually have food and beer girls, I have been to that many of them its mind blowing. They are very easy to find, usually they are very noisy and nearly every major  street will have a few,. There are some really good ones and I usually find the locals want to have a chat, especially if you are in areas that not a lot of expats live, such as Tan Phu,Go Vap,D12, D9 and Thu Duc

Anyone available for a drink tonight?

HI Steven,

Nice to meet you. If you are looking for a friend not only for a drink but also introducing you Vietnamese culture, please contact me.

I love music, beer, traveling and meeting people from other backgrounds.

Btw, I have also been in Europe, so I think we have something in common to talk :)
