Got a few hours? Add the
Cu Chi Tunnels to
your itinerary.
What time does the bus leave?
(Pronounced:
jwee-uhn sa beet jay lup may zer
) If you feel
like you’ve seen and experienced most of what Saigon has to
offer, know that this buzzing city can easily be a take-off point
to other parts of Vietnam and even to neighboring Cambodia.
In the backpacker district (which includes Pham Ngu Lao
and De Tham Sts.), there are many tour companies offering
day tours to nearby Cu Chi Tunnels (a must-see if only for
the experience of descending through the narrow and dark
passageways or firing an AK-47), and transportation to the
coastal city of Nha Trang, the World Heritage Site of Hoi An,
or the gateway to Angkor Wat, Siem Reap.

Thank you
(Pronounced:
kam ern
) Saying “thank you” or “cam on” is
generally appreciated everywhere. Being able to express
thanks for great service, a discount after minutes of haggling
in the market, a sublime bowl of
pho,
or a tall, cold glass
of coffee enjoyed by the street while you engage in some
serious people-watching is one way to treasure every
wonderful moment of your trip — and forget about grumpy
ladies screaming.
