Hi, been told to introduce myself here lol.png

So, here goes, I am staying temporary along Bui Thi Xuan-P (not sure if it can be understood).  Hopeing to get an apartment soon.

This weekend will be my first, I am hoping to catch a movie, not sure if they are showing 127 hours here yet?  Your feedbacks will be very much appreciated.

Ok, I am here for work, not sure when I will be back though.......

I like listening to music and jogging, not sure if there is any nearby gym that is within walking distance ?

Also, I am wondering if I can get any data SIM card sold here, to be installed into my phone for broadband surfing, although there have plenty of WIFI hotspot here.

Let me know if there is any gathering around the corner smile.png, I will be glad to join in.

Thank you for your attention.

Henry

Hi Henry,
Welcome to HCMC.
if you are staying in Bui Thi Xuan -Dist 1 (another in Tanbinh dist:) ), you can go to the Cinema near Taodan Park (conner of Nguyen Du & Truong Dinh str.). they show from 10AM or lunch time (not sure:) ). It has Yoga class in Taodan Park but not sure about Gym. You can ask someone there.

About SIM CARD, you can find everywhere along street. the famous ones name Viettel, mobile phone and vinaphone.

Hope this help.
gluck!

Hi, thanks for the great tips. I will just do that during this weekend. Also, to kill time.

I supposed most offices are closed on Saturday in here?

Henry

Thanks for the headsup, Lysa wink.png

You live in Bui THi Xuan, right ? You can walk to Bui Vien or Pham Ngu Lao where you can find many foreigners there, maybe some in your countries. smile.png

thorny_rose

the seem, you like " not sure ". ^_^
welcome to Vietnam and have a nice time.

henrylamcs

It's alway good to be unsure at times, you won't know what will happen next.  That is part of the learning curves.

And in Vietnam, this is a new experience for me hmm.png

petitefleuve161

You should be sure vietname/vietnamese girls are the most beautiful in Asia tongue.pnglol.png

henrylamcs

Yup, it is quite noticeable when you walk along the street cool.png .  No objection to that..............

thorny_rose

to change for " not sure " you should use for " maybe ". It's better. ^_^ And, if you think that " vietnamese girls are the most beautiful in Asia " so, don't be ignore, if you are single, let's find a miss, you will know, " vietnam is fantatic " big_smile.pngtongue.png

henrylamcs

I hope I am single big_smile.png, but I am not tongue.png

I just hope I can make friends here to have a drink at the bar, or get together to exchange about different views in each of our country.

I have plenty of time here, since I am alone here. I hope I can have sincere friends here to kill the boredom.

No other agendas roll.png

By the way, I just saw the movie (at Galaxy) by myself, "No String Attached", you guys/gals should watch it.  Quite interesting love story, it will remind us to cherish what we have instead of looking for the perfect thing.

Lysa Tran

@ Henry:
Really?? Maybe I watch and feel about it.
You don't go to work ?

henrylamcs

Not on Saturday. Lucky me.

@ Henry: keep in mind that you are big fish here for the catch so watch out. dont let the temptation ruin your life. What happened with many expats and Vietkieu is that they are indulged here with fed ego and sudden privilege lifestyles. Stay up with the healthy lifestyle and surrounding with positive people will help. Volunteering with an NGO org will help you connect with great people while doing something great for you heritage country. Welcome to HCMC!

lostsouls

Welcome to Vietnam. Hopefully I can reside there in the near future.big_smile.pngbig_smile.png

henrylamcs

Hi Upsidedown, thanks for your word of advice. I'll keep in mind hmm.png, finger crossed.

You are just one of those with great soul. I kudo to you.

To Henrry: i don't know this movie. ^^ I don't like to ferfect thing and i don't belive to it, perfect then more breakable claw. Have the temptation in your life or not, it's not depends in your life, it's depends on yourself. If you know to love your life, know to love what you are having, you will know the ways to leave the temptation. Have a nice time in Saigon.
( Not lucky, caus i'm not in SG, so can't cafe with you!! ^^ )

henrylamcs

Ok, Rose, that is about sums it all..............  Now, you should watch the movie and tell me how you feel about it.

I am sure you will enjoy it wink.png
