New to Ho Chi Minh !!!

Hello people.

I am new to Ho Chi Minh and guessed it helps to get to know a few people here especially that I am going to be here for a 6-7 month period. I love football (soccer) and tennis and would like to join people who play either of the games. it would be nice to meet up with a few people who are willing to catch up if they have a lil time off their busy schedules. It would also help to know from some of you on what is good place to find a decent furnished apartment in an area where I could definitely find expats like you all who could speak english and make my stay here a lot easier

A little about me, I an Indian by origin and work in the US. I am here on a project for about 6-7 months. Can play any sport and i guess i can also wear my party shoes when required I am single and hopefully can make a few friends here in the time frame that I am here.

Looking forward to a few responses.
