There's a gym in Hưng Vường Plaza takes up one entire floor looks very good, but I hear it's expensive. Appears to have air conditioning, which would be a godsend here.

Place I go to in Cần Thơ there's one guy who gives glares of death when I turn on a fan, closes windows and puts on a jacket to do the treadmill. I'm thinking he's simply crazy, he has the same body temperature, physics of evaporation, and susceptibility to heatstroke that I do.

Hey Chris. Welcome to HCMC. I just got posted here myself and also looking to meet new people and hang out.

Gym wise...I've been looking at places to stay and most of the apartments I looked at have in-house gyms. If you've already found a place to stay without a gym, sorry I can't be of any help.

Chris, uve been in SG for a few weeks already so I guess you figured out your nightlife fav.
Just in case u need more rec, some of my fav are:
Bar:
-Shri - 72-74 Nguyen Thi Minh Khai, 23rd Fl - nice bar/lounge and good food
-Cepage - 22 Le Thanh Ton, District 1 - also nice bar/lounge and good food
-Acoustic Bar: thuymuoi.com/saigon-acoustic-bar/
-Yoko Bar tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g293925-d2218023-Reviews-Yoko_Bar-Ho_Chi_Minh_City.html
Club:
-Fuse
-Lavish
-Lush
-Apocalypse Now
-Chill (Chill has restaurant, bar, and club, new n quite high end)

And irrelevant abt nightlife but this is my all time fav restaurant (do ask to sit on the bed

): Cuc gach quan (ie, Red Brick, address: 10 dang tat, district 1. cucgachquan.com.vn/en)

Hi Chris!

I'm Vy. I'm a Saigon girl, born & raised, fluent in English can speak Mandarin, (not too much but I used to live in China for a year) and I'm learning Korean. So if you're still looking for language exchange buddy let me know.

Cheers

If you live around Phu Nhuan Dist., you can try to enroll at 26 Gym, Nguyen Thuong Hien street. I think it's fine with low price (350,000 - 480,000 VND/Month).
