Hi all! I was hoping for some advice/help. I'm Australian currently living in Dubai with a 16 month old boy and another boy due in 3 weeks. We are looking at a move to HCMC in June but I've never been and am worried about how it is living there with such young children. Is it safe and is there lots to do? Any advice on best district to live (ive been told D7?). Are there places to take young babies out of the house and to meet other mums etc? Lots of expat mums around? Is it easy to find nannies/maids? Are there decent nurseries/pre schools? ANY help would be amazing! Thanks

I think you will be fine when arrive Hochiminh City as expat mom. I stay in Dist 7, and find very comfortable. School, hospital, shopping mall, park, etc ... are nice. You can raise up a go-out topic for expat mom when you are here! Welcome Nhu g
