I like the rushing pace of this modern and exciting world, but I also like to enjoy a glass of beer on a rooftop garden in the sunset. Oh, and Jazz.
Recommended places:
Hidden corners of the downtown area (which is my favorite since I live there) around District 1 or 3 or 5. We will be going to the flower market in D5, or we could spend a relaxing afternoon upon the bridge with the huge Bitexco sitting behind us. Or slipping through the silk market while trying out different cuisines right next to one of the most lively marketplaces on earth. Remarkable places such as Ben Thanh Market, Cu Chi Tunnel, Duc Ba Church, etc...
